What was it that convinced Apple not to include video recording in the original iPhone or iPhone 3G? Was it a battery issue? Did it not think the cameras in those models had enough megapixels to shoot a decent cellphone video? Or did it decide it needed to save video recording until the feature was needed to sufficiently spruce up a new iPhone model? The original iPhone didn’t need video to become a phenomenon, and the 3G turned heads with a faster network and more memory, plus it happened to coincide with the arrival of third-party apps.
