Polar Bear Farm has announced the release of ShowTime on the iTunes App Store. ShowTime brings video recording to the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G. ShowTime records video at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels at a frame rate of 6 frames per second; twice that of popular existing video recorders on the App Store. 16-Bit audio is recorded at 22.05kHz sample rate. The video is compressed using Motion JPEG file format, which can be played back on all major computer platforms. Video recordings can be emailed from the phone.

ShowTime was originally developed and released two years ago, and was the first video recorder available for the iPhone. ShowTime was hugely popular in the jailbreak market, quickly becoming one of the most downloaded apps ever. ShowTime gathered over 1 million unique installations during the time it was available. ShowTime was removed from sale in the jailbreak market with the launch of the iTunes App Store, pending approval for sale through iTunes. Sixteen months later it's been approved for sale, and available for download.

Pricing and Availability:
ShowTime 2.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photography category. Today's approval for sale on the iTunes App Store now provides some certainty for future rapid development of ShowTime into a powerful and unique video utility for the iPhone.

Why so slow? 3GS records at 320x480(higher rez) at a full 30fps

One word: Cycorder. Even after having NO development in the past 18 months or so, it STILL beats this P.O.S. Save your 99 cents.

Keep in mind this is for non-jailbroken iPhones. Not everyone wants to jailbreak so this is THEIR option.

I agree i have had (dreamcatcher's) 3giphonevideorecorder and cycorder from cydia since they first came out. now that apple is allowing the new apps to the app store, they are much slower than either of the two from cydia
