iPhone 3GS video quality???

Other than the VGA 30fps there were no specific details on the quality of the video that we can take with the iPhone 3GS. Does anyone have any additional details or even better an example video that shows the quality? I am still debating if i need to get a Flip Mino HD or if the iPhone will have a decent quality picture for viewing on a computer or tv screen and not just the phone itself.

MacBook 2Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

I can answer that, if you are interested in quality of image get the Flip Mino HD.

If your thinking on getting the Flip HD for breath taking HD quality, you can forget that. I have a Flip Mino HD, it's far from what you probably think the video quality should be...but then again I know the limitations of the Flip HD and I'm not complaining. I use it for what it is, fast, small, and easy to use.

From what I have read the iPhone 3gs can record 640x360 (VGA, SD) video. Just because it records at that pixel dimension doesn't mean the video quality can't be better than HD video. The Flip HD records at 1280x720, and that's why it called HD.

If the video quality of the new iPhone is better than the Flip HD...go with the iPhone.

It'll be pretty crappy compared to a Canon HD video camera. But it will probably compare quite nicely to other smartphone video capture.

Come on Apple, where are the samples?
