Treo 600 Video Recording Possible
A Palm OS programmer has released a very early version of a developing Treo 600 Movie recording application.
MovieRec, or "Movie Recorder", is a basic movie recording application for the Treo 600 smartphone. Currently, the application is in the alpha stage and is more or less a proof of concept as the Treo 600 does not ship with the ability to capture video.
The application can record a 5 second 160x120 uncompressed video clip to the Treo's internal memory. It does not capture sound and is limited to only recording one video to internal memory. You can only play back the video onboard the device at the moment. The software shows promise as it can capture video at a very high frame-rates, but is limited to 10fps due to memory constraints in the early version.
The developer is working on enhancing the application to allow saving of the movie clips, exporting clips and compression. The app requires over 3MB of free memory and has a number of bugs you should be aware of before testing it out. More details and a download can be found here.

RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
Why did people buy the Flowbee?? Because they could!
Why would people want a crappy video recorder?? Because they can! :)
RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
Nokia 3650, 6600 (and maybe more Nokia's)
SE P800, 900
XDA II
SPV E200
I think there are a few Samsung phones that do video, as well. Many current phones have video or at least limited/short video capabilities.

RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
can someone tell me why someone would make video recording software for the treo 600?...i thought it didn't have video recording capabilities...are they trying to say that it can?!
RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
That is why other material and reviews state that the Treo 600 has not been capable of video recording.

Why would anyone need a crapy moving recorder?
"
What motivates people to write this kind of garbage?
Makes me think :
Why would anyone need a crappy troll in a forum?
RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
unlimited length movies with sound on a handheld? wow.
would this mean that people would be able to mail each other videos?
RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
I seriously doubt that until PalmOne finally releases the voice recording API to do this...

Btw, the lost camera driver error was pretty freaky when I first experienced it, but luckily only need to do a soft reset, NOT A HARD reset, to fix it! :) :p

RE: Maybe possible with the zire71?
As we know.. this forum is mostly for Sony Clie lovers.
But the Treo 600 is hands down the best unit made to date.
