I don't really care how long those features have been on other phones.
They're now finally on a phone that's good!
...and the video quality is 1000 times better than on other phones. No exaggeration. I could make DVDs out of iPhone videos and they'd be reasonable to watch. You can't say that about video out of any other smartphone or regular cell phone that I've tried.
I'd rather Apple wait until they have something perfected before releasing it, rather than giving us the same crappy quality that other phones have.
