Upload OTA HD Videos From Your iPhone 4 Using Pixelpipe


Since the news of Steve Jobs one-liner emails promising HD video uploads over the air (OTA) from your iPhone 4 "in the near future" word spread like wildfire of Pixelpipe's app, which can already do just that. With 720p uploads to YouTube, Facebook, and over "100 supported destinations," Pixelpipe's free app lets you quickly share HD videos immediately, without having to upload them to a PC or Mac first. Job's response to a question of the purpose of having HD video capabilities when the compression upon uploading them makes the video's useless and not viewable was the following:
You can upload them via a Mac or PC today. Over the air in the future.

His response might have been a reasonable one if it were only imposed on 3G data connections but when you check it out, even the "Send to YouTube" function in the iOS 4 Photos app downsizes video uploaded over WiFi as well. Pixelpipe's app on the other hand allows videos up to 200 MB in size to be uploaded at full resolution over the air from your iPhone. It does give you the option of downsampling your video before uploading it. You can link your Pixelpipe to your Twitter account and load video OTA to your Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, Flickr, your blog, or pretty much any other social networking site one can imagine. Although the app is still a little buggy, its still well worth a try especially since the alternative fails to compare. The app as mentioned before is also free so it doesn't hurt either. You can download the app by clicking on the following link: [iTunes Link]
