It doesn't?!?!?! Then that is, by far, the dumbest API on Earth!
Geez... does SE get ALL the dumbest SW programmers??? Like the rejects at MS or something?!?! They release phones with buggy firmware, illogical menu structures, faulty sync software, and useless APIs... what the hell!?!?!?
Hardware-wise they are the best... but I'm sorry... their SW dept must be a Retard Test Facility. |

What can the API do that the Communicam doesn't? I installed the API but can't see it on my phone. I'm confused ....... |

An API is for software developers only. It allows access to hardware features on the phone so that software developers can come up with new applications. |

Hey you idiots,
API means Application Programming Interface.
These bunch of classes are used by SW developers to write third party applications.
You CAN'T install API on a phone.WTF is so stupid o try to install API on the phone?API are compiled and built in the firmware.
So,of course,if the P800 does not have a video function,it is perfectlly clear that the API will not offer support for video.
Learn a little bit about making software,damn it.You blame SE for your lack of knowleagde.

Quoted from the description of the Camera API (see the link in the first post of this thread):
"The Camera API supports still image capturing of RGB bitmap based pictures of three sizes and direct-to-screen view finding of one fixed size (QQVGA). All mandatory methods are supported, but optional features of the Symbian Onboard Camera API Design such as video, flash and zoom are not supported."
SE is hiding a lot from P800 developers (camera, fax, telephony details, etc., etc.). I wonder if this is a business strategy, or something else... Some insight would be interesting. |

Is there a standard Symbian Onboard Camera Device API template then?
Could it be that a standard protocol for this API (ie one ported from Series 60 onboard cameras) would be comparable to this one... I suppose what I'm trying to say is that if we had a symbian API for a camera with video, comparing the two would help to find the calls for recording video... |
