I just saw it available for download. Trying to download it now n see if it'll work on my ipad1. Can't say where I saw it available at but it's there n I'm trying to download it now ;-) it says requirements ipad2, iPhone 4 or 4th generation iPod touch. Also iOS 4.2.6 or higher. Ima still try to see if it'll work.
GarageBand also available, says it wrks on ipad iOS 4.2 or greater. Definitely know that'll work on ipad1 then. Fingers crossed on imovies though.

Imovies=Failed on ipad1...hopefully newer version will wrk. Will try again later. Installation failed..lol

iMovie should work on iPad 1...just cant use the direct video feature.

Well the version released is ver. 1.2. It told me installation failed. Ill try again then try the 1.1 version to see if it'll work. But it's the 1.2 version that has the audio waveforms and multitouch precision editor for iPad. I figured it should work also because 4th generation iPod touch has 256mb like the IPad. I thght the same thing, only with ipad1 we would have to upload our own video from library into there. Maybe there's still hope for it on ipad1.
Or maybe it might work if u have iOS 4.3 Since requirements are 4.2.6 or higher, as I'm still on jailbroken 4.2.1. Someone else with 4.3 would need to test that out as I have no intention of upgrading until untethered jailbreak is released for 4.3. The untethered 4.2.1 exploit was closed up by apple on 4.3 so new method has to be found. Only a tethered jailbreak is avail. At the moment for 4.3. I gotta have untethered so no worries on reboot or if battery dies out on me.

Yes you need 4.3

I got GarageBand! That's a really great app, if only it had existed 35 years ago...

Has anyone else noticed that GarageBand drains the battery pretty quickly? Not sure about iMovie I'll try it out too.

Is iMovie only available in the US App Store? I checked on the UK store and couldn't find it!

I found it on apple's developer page but didnt find it when specifically searching for it. Tried to buy but it gave me the error that it was not compatable with my ipad due to not having a front facing camera.

But no worries I found it else where. ;-)

Can the fact that we cannot circulate movie files around as we wish on the iPad be the reason why iMovies is not available for us yet? Since there's no way to do it in Videos but with the use of iTunes it would be difficult to make movies on iPad 1. Since there are cameras on iPad 2 iMovies would then be limited to the sequences you shoot fresh.

Before I get flamed, this was just a theory. Apple's got us so used to closed loops that since we're not yet told officially why iMovie is not on iPad 1 I just assumed the worst...
