Apple will update iMovie app to support iPad

It's no surprise with the new cameras on the iPad that Apple has also introduced a version of iMovie tailored to the iPad, but is a universal update that includes the iPhone.

Features include a precision editor, multitrack audio recording with more than 50 sound effects, new themes, the use of AirPlay to stream to the Apple TV, sharing HDs and the ability to upload to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and CNN iReport from the app, in addition to a send to iTunes button.

The iMovie app is $4.99. The update to support the iPad will be available on March 11, but those with the iPhone can download the current version of the app now.

iMovie for iPhone is a waste of effort in my opinion as the screen is too damn small to work on.

How can this work on an iphone 4 but not an ipad 1? They both have the same processor. Didn't I pay $40 for a camera connect kit?

I predict this will be the reason iPad 1 will support iMovie, if there is enough griping about it.

Could it be the RAM? iPhone 4 has 512MB and the original iPad has 256MB.

I'm guessing this app isn't going to work on iPad 1? Really sucks, but I have a feeling they're going to leave us hanging here even though it can probably handle the load perfectly well (I had a video editing app and it worked just fine, just didn't like the app.)

I totally agree with you. For a product of this price, having its lifetime set in one year is not that great. Sure, the iPad 1 is still an awesome device, but not updating Apps to run on it seems to send the message that you're left behind only after 1 generation. :-(
