Why doesn’t the iPhone record video using its camera? It’s one of those unanswerable questions, since there’s surely no technical reason why the iPhone cam can’t also shoot moving images. And if you need proof of that, check out Drunknbass, a beta application which is capable of recording five seconds of video at 10 frames-per-second (fps) using the iPhone’s camera.
Yes, that’s rubbish. But it’s just the start: the final app will apparently record at up to 45fps, and in unlimited lengths (well, as much as your iPhone can hold anyway). As you’ll have guessed, this isn’t an officially-sanctioned application, so to download it onto your iPhone you’ll need to have unlocked it.
For those of us chickening out and playing by Apple’s rules, Drunknbass is still good news. Why? It raises the possibility of an official iPhone firmware update from Apple adding video-recording capabilities. There’s rumours of a new firmware update this side of Christmas, so fingers crossed. In the meantime, watch the demo above.

dude i tried unlocking my phone several times in the past couple of day while trying to download a version of the NES sim. The numbers and letters flashing across my screen in a matrix type manner had me thinking i had correctly downloaded this file. 10 min later it was still doing that and to my knowlege i crashed my iphone. Well it turned out… yeah i crashed the shit out of it and had to take it to the apple store to manualy reset its factory setting becasue of some geek in their basment making shitty corrupt files that look to good to be true, sort of like this one. I recomend that everyone leaves their phone to do what it does best. Play music, make phones calls, ect
