Many Samsung cellphones contain tiny video camera devices.
Many modern Samsung phones, such as the E900 model, contain video recording capabilities. The most common format for recorded video from cell phones is Third Generation Partnership Project (3GP), which allows for videos taken to be transferred directly onto computers for storage and playback. Although 3GP files are compatible with some multimedia jukeboxes, such as MPlayer and Quicktime, it is often necessary to convert them into a more widely readable format.
