Video is a lot more forgiving of resolution issues than still photos. The iPhone 3G thing couldn't record video due to potential battery life and CPU slowdown issues. Basically, Apple is very conservative when it comes to pushing their devices too hard.

I just don't understand how they can have a lens with the capabilities of shooting videos, which is unable to take photos? I wouldve thought that the video side of things would be harder? I guess that's just what I tell myself when I wonder why my iPhone (3G) isn't able to shoot video?! Is that true:
