Not only did he claim that the phone’s new camera will shoot 720p/30 video, but he debuted the new $4.99<a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/imovie.html" style="color: rgb(215, 6, 6); text-decoration: none; ">iMovie app for iPhone</a>, allowing users to trim clips, apply transitions, and create titles without leaving their mobile environment. What’s more, the new phone will have a very high resolution 960×640 pixel display that should make working with its touch screen a real pleasure, and its front-facing video camera and “FaceTime” wi-fi video-chat capabilities will make remote collaboration a whole new game.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 12px; "><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; ">Editing on the iPhone isn’t going to make dedicated NLE workstations obsolete, of course, but it’s another step toward mobilizing — and miniaturizing — the creation of content. While the quality of HD video shot on your phone will be dubious, there may be some situations where pros get a kick out of using their iPhone to shoot and string together some video clips. But having this kind of functionality on a palm-sized device carries clear implications for the entire PC hardware market.</p></span></div><div><br></div><div>I can see television news departments equipping their reporters (and other staff) with iPhone4's and iMovie... and letting people literally "phone it in."</div><div><br></div><div>Instead of "Get that camera/microphone outta my face!" we'll hear and see "Get that iPhone outta my face!"</div><div><br></div><div>Will Garret Brown invent an iSteady?
