Nexus One gifted with 720p video recording.

The N1 was a short lived attempt by Google to reinvent the way consumers acquire mobile hardware. It was a noble effort. But ultimately wasn’t what we all wanted apparently. Even still, the N1 itself is a fine piece of Android hardware. Though leave it to the “Android underground” world of hackers and devs to truly unlock the devices potential.

What am I saying? 720p video recording baby…

The only caveat is that you’ll need to install Cyanogen’s CM5.0.8test3 (or greater) for the 720p movie snappin’ mode to work. Mentions of Froyo support are impending, so 2.2 lovers won’t have to wait much longer.

Don’t ya just love determined devs?
