Showtime is a native application that can be installed on a jailbroken phone. It brings video recording capability to iphone which I think is one of the basic functionality of any high-end phone. Initially, I was surprized when apple did not offer video recording capability on iphone. I had to reconsider my decision of buying iphone. Finally, I bought iphone expecting that the future software updates will bring the capability.
On a jailbroken phone, in the installer, you can find "showtime" in the "multimedia" category. But there is a catch to this. The current free version records only 5 secs of video. You need to donate to get a license key which do not have any limitations. Currently, the software is just in its bare bones. There is no capability to delete the recorded videos, which I think is very odd. I am sure that they will add this capability in the future releases.
Update:
I am wrong in saying that there is no capability to delete recorded videos. If you swipe across the filename, it will give an option to delete the file. Also, the recorded videos are kept in /var/root/Media/PBFVideo/ (/var/mobile/Media/PBFVideo on 1.1.3 phones). You can use SSH/SFTP to transfer videos on and off the iPhone. Go here for more detailed information. It has information about the current features and the upcoming features.
