OMG, video on a phone? Really?
News broke like it was hot about a rumored video chat application approved on Apple. Now hold on one minute here… Didn’t we already invent this back in 2002? How does this become news AGAIN. Just because it works on an iPhone, it turned the industry upside down… I guess if it’s not on the iPhone, it never existed. Let me show you a company that already did this… secret post coming soon…
Fring—a free chat client for the iPhone that supports most standards—has been updated to support video conferencing on the iPhone, using Wi-Fi. It works on Fring to Fring, and Skype to Fring. Unfortunately, it’s not bi-directional. You would be able to see whoever is calling you from a desktop, but you won’t be able to transmit your image, even if you have the 3G videoconferencing kit. The reason is a physical one, according to the developer: The iPhone doesn’t have a front camera, so you can’t do face to face. - Gizmodo
