Even though there are jailbreak apps now that leverage the iPhone's camera for video use (ustream and Qik, in particular), Apple hasn't yet shown its hand on video directions in 3.0. Giving users the ability to edit their video on-device before uploading, emailing or MMS-ing would be a spectacular feature, and there's a lot to like about the idea of a pinch/stretch UI for managing a video timeline. iPhone, meet iMovie? Still, if you planned to do a lot of video work on your phone, a 32 GB model with a faster processor and better camera would be ideal...
Thanks, Ben

Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts
It's time to come and hang out where everybody knows your name, or at least your Talkshoe handle: the TUAW talkcast is back tonight after a week's hiatus (we're all feeling much better, thanks ever so). Join us at 10 pm ET tonight for a roundtable discussion (including your questions, comments, and rants) covering the Apple news of the week -- including the range of naysayers going after the Apple brand with gusto.
To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, or you can try out the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VOIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8. Talk with you then!
Recording support for the talkcast is provided by Call Recorder from ecamm networks.

iPhone: Carriers Does Not Like Skype for iPhone
T-Mobile in Germany, as well as Roger in Canada, have already announced that they might prevent their local users to use Skype on iPhone or iPod Touch for calling over Wi-Fi. Despite the fact that Apple locked the application to prevent any usage over 3G network, VoIP applications are a real danger for most carriers. Indeed, any calling time over the subscription-included pre-paid period is a jackpot for carrier and can quickly become expensive for users. So, one can easily understand that users at home might save a lot of their subscription-included time by calling via VoIP (Skype or any forthcoming applications).
while it seems clear that in Germany and in Canada, carriers distributing the iPhone are against this application, in other European countries, most carriers are surprisingly silent... no reactions from Orange, SFR, O2, etc...
New Palm Pre apps underscore Apple's iPhone limitations

FCC asked to investigate Skype for iPhone restriction
Since Tuesday, Skype for iPhone has been downloaded more than a million times—that’s a rate of six downloads a second, according to the company. All this despite the fact the software only works via the iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection, and not AT&T’s 3G network. That restriction has angered some, who have argued that the practice is anti-competitive.
"Gucci with a touchpad"
Even if the recession has been deepening, businesses and consumers are willing to pay for something that they need, or something that they want very badly. A BlackBerry is a status symbol of sorts. It is certainly a device that has utility. The iPhone shares those elements and is also a much more powerful symbol of the owner’s prestige.
