Another nice iPhone video recorder is Cycorder, which works on the 2G iPhone too. I've used it on a 2G, and it's nice, allowing the iPhone to record at its maximum frame rate of 15 fps in good light (the fps drops if the light level drops). Like "iPhone Video Recorder for 3G", it requires your iPhone be jailbroken to run non-Apple approved apps.

how to do --> Open a SSH shell to your iPhone?
