You guys are kinda missing the point. You can UPLOAD ANY VIDEO YOUVE TAKEN ON YOUR PHONE IMMEDIATELY.

Thats pretty damn awesome. Say you take your ocean to a concert and video tape a clip. Send it to youtube then notify your friends via youtube. From a video "producer" standpoint this ends up having some pretty good value. Plus you can GPS tag all your videos when you upload them. Thats pretty sick too.

This is a pretty killer app, for me at least. I could care less about viewing videos, but posting the ones I just took without having to go home and upload them, thats rad.

BTW, I just uploaded a video, it took maybe 20 seconds to upload a 1 minute clip and was available immediately. The GPS tagging is kind of sketchy at this point... all it adds is comments with lat and long coordinates, so it doesnt actually place it on a map like flickr photos. And it also adds a mandatory "Sent from my Helio Ocean" in the comments, as well as Helio and Ocean in the tags (checking to see if this is editable next time I upload a clip). All in all, its pretty cool, but they are doing some major advertising tagging in the process.
