With Apple’s introduction of video recording with the iPhone 3GS last year combined with the HD video recording in the iPhone 4, it makes sense that such a great platform for video would eventually get a full-fledged video editing app. Today, Apple has released iMovie for the iPhone 4 in the app store for a mere $4.99.
This app will be great for doing quick edits on the go, and then sharing them on YouTube, but iMovie for iPhone is far from perfect. As it stands now, you can’t sync your iMovie project to and from your computer, but you can sync your finished product.
