hahahaha niice...
i think the maxx v6 had that option in europe cause i bought an international one and there was an option to video call..

but that on the iphone? i feel its going to be very expensive on ATT.
unless someone hacks the **** out of it and makes it available for other carriers

pretty good... i was thinking about giving up my iphone;(

if u have a pic of the new iphone in the case you could see the frontal camera on the top right its not the macbook pro in the back it looks like a camera attached to the iphone if u look closely.

kind of cool and im getting one for sure but what i dont like about the iphone is that we cant send or receive pictures with the text whats up with that

theres already a video chat app on the iphone...for jailbroken phones...

videoconferencing is shitbull... i have had 5 phones capable of that but i never really used it... maybe 4-5 times a year....

And which app would this be?......

I would love to know where this info is coming from. Something else that apple is notorious for is not leaking info. I like to think of MMI as a reliable source for info. Its like standing in line at the grocery store and looking at the tabloids. MMI would be People and any other site would be Starr magazine. But this info is pretty far fetched. Obviously there is a 3G iphone coming out. Steve said they had a working model 2-3 months ago but they were working on the battery life. I think all the speculations are bullplop until the phones show up in the store.

I have a 3g phone.

You will not be able to watch tv in real time. 3g is not that good. It still downloads chunks of data, albeit faster, and then plays them. Same with video conferencing. You will not be able to sustain a continous connection.

I agree... I had a 3G Samsung Blackjack with that TV program and it's not live.. it's all pre-recorded clips.

OK. the blackjack is garbage(blackjack II is 100 times better) the mobitv is probably what you are talking about-gabage. ATT 3g is pretty damn good. if you are in the states it is actually proven the best. 3g i a generic term. The new iPhone will most likely be HSDPA or HSUPA even. 99% of att's 3g phone are hsdpa.

AT&T is already pushing for video conferencing in all 3G phones... having it in the iPhone is nothing new... as long as you're on a 3G network they said it will be enabled by like some time in July... I used to work for RadioShack and that's what my rep told us at least.

if the U.S version is not gonna have video chat then I don't see the point in getting it.
