The iPhone 4’s new 720p video recording capabilities and the fantastic iMovie for iPhone app make shooting beautiful movies on the run an absolute snap, but sharing them is another story. The second you try to upload your gorgeous, high-def movie to YouTube, the iPhone 4 crunches your video down to a low-quality 360p clip.
What the heck, Apple? Don’t you want us to show off your phone’s video capabilities? That forced compression is plenty irritating, but an enterprising App Store developer has now remedied the problem in the form a free application called 720Tube, which does exactly what it says: makes sure your videos are shared in the same quality they were shot.
