My iPhone 3GS video recording/uploading experiment

As you may or may not know the new iPhone 3GS has a video camera that records at a full 30fps. Inside the camera application it also has a dedicated button for uploading to YouTube, provided you have a YouTube account.

So the other night I met up with Rob at the 10-stair on 63rd and Broadway. With no intentions of skating it "for real" or for clips or whatever, Rob just went up to the top and 180'd it straight away. I captured it with my iPhone and hit the "Upload to YouTube" button.

Rob and I walked to our vehicles, got in and discussed where to actually go skating. I pulled out my phone to check the publishing status and found it already available on my YouTube page! Before we even left the parking lot! I have to say that is a pretty bad-ass feature to have on a phone. It completely ups the ante for getting the "first!" status of a new spot or trick. I wonder how much of this we will see in the near future.
