Capture App

I'm sure this has happened to you, I know it's happened to me, looking to capture a quick video - you select the camera app on your iPhone and then realize your in photo mode, by the time you switch over the moment is gone.  I found this app through wired.com, it starts recording the second you select the app.  Very cool - and hopefully, no more missed opportunities:
