Next Generation iPhone Likely to Have Video Capture

All signs are pointing to new iPhone hardware in the next few months. The updates will likely include a new processor and video recording capability along with the long list of announced and unannounced 3.0 features. Ars Technica discovered references to the new devices within a system file included with the 3.0 beta released to developers on Tuesday. A "publish video" screen was also discovered by Engadget to further push the notion of a next generation phone.

It's never made sense that the iPhone has lacked video capture capability. It's completely counter to Apple's overall personal multimedia strategy. If a free phone from any cellular carrier can capture video then why not a state of the art device like the iPhone. The first and second generation iPhone's clearly have limitations that Apple hasn't been completely straight forward about.
