16:9 video recording?

Does the iPhone 3GS record widescreen? If so, how? I thought all you had to do was flip the camera to landscape but after doing so, the videos still show up 4:3

Thanks

I admit I haven't even read the instructions 🙂 so I am baffled by my first video. I took it holding the iPhone portraitwise, and I uploaded it to MobileMe. The video looks like the iPhone screen (like a 16:9 video laid out vertically). I thought that was odd. Haven't tried uploading one I took while holding the iPhone landscapewise, but if the camera is VGA, it seems to be cropping to fit the iPhone screen. Just a WAG.
