How to Get HD Video From Your iPhone 4 to Your PC

The recently released iPhone 4 takes pretty awesome HD video for a device so small, however, Apple hasn’t yet provided a good way to get HD quality video directly from the device to somewhere like Facebook or YouTube (you can’t even do it with the iMovie for iPhone app). This guide will show you how to get your HD video from your iPhone onto your computer so that you can upload it in HD to Facebook, YouTube, and more.
