Omitting video recording is just another of the bizarre decisions Apple made with their generation-one cellphone, but if the past year has taught us anything it's that whatever iPhone developers set their mind to, they usually achieve. In this case, it's a video recording app for the handset. Called uShow, it currently seems to be in closed beta.
Developed by drunknbass, uShow allows you to record and playback video footage, save or email it, or upload it to a number of video sharing sites. So far they're claiming compatibility with YouTube, Flickr Video, facebook, MySpace Video, friendster, metacafe and photobucket. Everything follows the chubby-finger-friendly GUI iPhone users are used to.
There are even higher-end features like on-screen timestamps and framing guides. A menu of audio and video compression options should make tweaking file sizes straightforward to. There's no suggestion of when uShow will be generally released, but they'll be re-opening beta registration on April 20th.

Looks like their re-opening of the beta scheduled for yesterday evening has come and gone…anyone have any further news?
Well, you can now register (have your iPhone serial number handy) but I’ve yet to receive an email as promised with the link to the application. At least it’s a start. I think I’ll check out DreamCatcher in the meantime…
