A further hunt through the same iPhone 3.2 SDK that discovered a new iPhone codename has unearthed an indicator that the Apple smartphone will also get 720p video playback and possibly capture. The MediaValidator preferences list file for the now allows videos as wide as 1280 pixels and a total 921,000 pixel count, or enough to match the 1280x720 resolution of 720p. It similarly recognizes the AVC 3.1 codec profile necessary to allow 720p footage.
