In a perfect world, we'd have a vimeo app on the iPhone already!!!
I’ve had an iPhone for almost two months now and I have to say that it’s one of the coolest gadgets I’ve ever owned. When it comes to the iPhone and it’s apps, it’s got everything…ALMOST.
There is one thing missing. One particular website that I use on almost a daily basis whether I’m looking for inspiration, uploading some video archives or just looking at what friends have uploaded…and that website is vimeo.com . However Vimeo doesn’t offer an iPhone app…and this is killing me. I can watch tons of videos through youtube or twitvid, but I prefer Vimeo above all of the rest.
Not only does Vimeo offer HD quality video, but their interface is very clean and you don’t get hit in the face with all of the “similar” video recommendations like you do when you’re on youtube. Hell I think even the standard definition Vimeo video looks hella better than youtube. Vimeo contains thousands of great videos that are all about original content directly from the people who take the time to make these creations.
Currently I have about 198 videos up on Vimeo and it would be oh so sweet to watch them on my iPhone whenever and wherever I’m at. On the go, it would be great to show a potential client a wedding video I’ve produced, share a home video memory with friends at a Halloween Party or when visiting New Jersey, to just be able to embarrass my brother-in-law on the fly.
Look vimeo, we all understand that creating an iPhone app takes time and money, however you really need to get caught up with the competition! The second I got an iPhone I started taking stupid videos that I wanted to share with twitter, facebook and the world…however I don’t want to upload them to youtube, I want to upload them to Vimeo. For now, I’ll settle on just emailing my video clip (from my iPhone) to my custom Vimeo email address and then waiting for it to become live…but someday (and hopefully SOONER than LATER) I will be ecstatic to find the vimeo icon in the App store…and hell, I would be willing to pay .99 cents for this app…hell I’d pay $4.99 for this app!
C’mon vimeo, what are you waiting for? GIVE US AN IPHONE APP!!!!!!!
PS – Currently you can send the video from your iPhone to Vimeo. There is a special email address that vimeo gives you. Add that to your iPhone contacts and email the videos to have them uploaded. Works for now.
Timbo,
Not sure if you’ve heard, but Vimeo does have some videos that do now playback on the iPhone. They have promised that soon Vimeo Plus users will be able to convert videos to play on the iPhone as well.
An iPhone app would be great though. Hopefully that is next!
I agree, as the iPhone continues to provide video recording features, it would be great to have the quick and easy access to quickly upload the videos.
