We found out from the Gizmodo iPhone 4G/HD leak that the next iPhone will have a front facing camera. One would assume that means iChat capabilities right? Well, the folks at BGR have just received some interesting info that reveals Video Conferencing evidence.
This option comes from a field test firmware from the supposed next iPhone and as you can see from the pictures below, it clearly shows there will be video conferencing capabilities. Check out the pics below:
I think iChat or video conferencing would be an awesome feature. However, there are a few questions: how well would it work over 3G and how inclined are people to video chat on their phones?

Phone sex anyone? Haha
lmfao!
I for one would use iChat all the time on my iPhone. Maybe not in public, but at home and work. I hate to say it, but my guess is that it will be a WiFi only feature though.
I would be okay with WiFi only, but the real benefit of this would be shopping when separated from your partner (e.g.: “Do these pants make my butt look fat”, “Is this our brand of margarine?”, etc.). Otherwise it's just a toy.
Yeah but… toys are cool!

Conferencing Software is the latest in global communication. Its been hot for a while now but has just gone into another gear. Hundreds of companies and products based on conferencing are popping up all over the net. It takes a little getting use to trying to focus on the camera to engage your audiance properly but is way worth it compared to offline meetings. The costs you can save are huge.
