iPhone To Have 2nd Camera For Video Conferencing

By Christopher Carfi - Wed, 05/28/2008 - 14:27

The rumors on the new iPhone state that it'll have a second camera for "video conferencing." But think about it...if it's on the faster 3G network, and it has that second camera, it's not really "video conferencing," which conjures images of staid meetings and boardrooms and such.

If the camera is there, and the network is fast enough, and the UI is right, this is that individual, person-to-person videophone that has been envisioned for the last 50 years.

Thoughts?

(And yes, for the record, I still want my flying car.)
