Can the iPhone record Video?

I have searched to find an answer to this and have not found one. I have only had time to watch 30 min of the keynote so i don't know if Steve talked about it.

Most cell phones can shoot video and I am hoping the iPhone with all it's awesome features can as well. It seems a feature like recording video would be a feature that would have tight integration with iMovie and iWeb as well as the upcoming iLife 07. It would make the iPhone great for business types as well as family folks. (record the kids playing in the yard, pop it in iMovie, then to iWeb for grandma to check out.

Apple's specs talk about photos, not movies. Videos on most cell phones are crummy -- maybe that high-end Samsung model that has a 3 megapixel camera that's available from Verizon Wireless.

On the other hand, we havent heard the last word on the iPhone. Even if Apple resolves its legal dispute with Cisco Systems over the trademark -- or just calls it the iPod phone or the Mudpie or whatever -- there will be a lot more news of what this device can do over the coming months.

Steve never said that these are all the features -- that's it -- whatever.

Since this was posted it is technically possible but like Gene said the video would be crummy. However with the App Store coming in a little over a week who knows?! The way they should do it would be to make an add on accessory that would connect via the dock connector with a better camera since the hardware and software is capable. I've seen it on the Jail Broken iPhones, the demos not the extra camera but it's a great idea for video conferencing.
