What’s this? Apple approved a video recording app for the iPhone 3G and iPhone OldGee? Like, for the App Store? Yeah, it’s called iVideoCamera and it’s 99 cents. It’s pretty crappy. Okay, really crappy.

Resolution is 160×213. At three frames a second. Three. And you only record for one minute. But you can share your cruddy video lots of places real easy!

It’s kind of a brilliant move, letting this fly, to muffle anybody complaining about video not making it to older iPhones, when it’s even on the goddamn iPod nano. Who would want video this shitty on their phone? Nobody. (Never mind that Cycorder, a jailbreak app, somehow manages 15fps at a res of 384×288). [iTunes via TheAppleBlog]
