uShow or noShow?

Its been a little while since I wrote my first post on iPhone video recording. (http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/2008/04/iphone-video-recording/) Since then we have seen some major enhancements and disappointments.

The most anticipated video recording app for the iPhone named “uShow” was previewed in December by Monster and Friends. Since then we have seen nothing more than a few screenshots, and a beta registration. However, the beta never arrived and there is now a stay tuned message on uShow’s registration page

The owner known as “Drunknbass” closed all comments on his video recording post, on http://monsterandfriends.com, due to a mass amount of users insulting and badgering him with questions and rude comments.

Users have posted a comments on a different post regarding one of Monster and Friend’s other apps asking when we should expect any of his apps however, there has been no response.

Even though there is not much activity on his own site many angry users, including those contributing money to Drunknbass, have posted threads on ModMyiFone. Here, many questions and concerns have been brought up including the possibility of uShow just being a publicity stunt. A portion of one of these posts (click here) by “iPhoneMadness” can been seen below.

“As long as I’ve read about this, there has been NOTHING produced from you. Your all talk. Fake. I wish you would just stop posting. Even if you do come out with Ushow, your attitude alone would make me not download it, much less pay for it. ESPECIALLY since there is already a proven app that works, which I might add, doesn’t come with an arrogant, childish, attention seeking dev.”

Drunknbass responded with

“shut your hole.”

It appears Drunknbass is very secretive about uShow and hasn’t allowed anyone to test it nor has he posted many screenshots. 

Many of his supporters have turned to a different app called “iPhoneVideoRecorder” by Dreamweaver. Their app provides a fairly good quality video recorder that provides video/audio quality settings as well as an option to upload videos to YouTube.  Even though it is not free it allows you to record up to 30 sec without purchasing a license. 

As the screenshots on http://ushow.com suggest, uShow may be able to upload to many video sharing sites however, no one knows if we will ever see uShow on our iPhones. Until Drunkbass releases more many have deemed uShow a noShow.
