Ahhh, missed that somehow
. I must have read the EDGE part from someone's comment.Thanks.
Why you are speaking about it in terms of "imagine"? I guess you never had experienced with video calling feature and you have absolutely no idea how and when to use it.
I can assure you that it is great thing to have on your mobile. You see...you don't have to walk and talk; you can stop for a minute and do it then. Plus "imagine" if you are in the park or on the trip with your family or friends and you can call someone on iChat and show them where you are and what you do. Isn't it great? I think it is.
I don't know where you are from but here in europe we got video calling from sometime now; UK got Three network. I have been using this along with many others. And I hope it will come to iPhone now because that will make perfect sense from Apple strategy point of view.
I doubt it. I feel bad for AT&T's data network, if this is true.
World is not about your AT&T and AT&T only. Because your network is far behind european and asian in terms of speed it doesn't mean that Apple won't enable this feature.
Maybe thats why they are planning release few models then? In this case 4GB no iChat will perfectly match your market
You could always use fake background as it is in current iChat. I would pray then that fps is enough for my wife to trick her

If I had to guess, they won't allow video chat over 3G. It'd be wi-fi only.
If that was so, then it MIGHT be possible. I would love to have that feature, but I'm not holding my breath.
I would call it BS too simply because there are not enough leaked proofs about this feature over last year in compare to other things which will be implemented in June/July iPhone.
But it is possible and make sense to me.
ummm... i can think of some other uses too... winky winky
uhm, i don't think the resolution is high enough for that, unless the front camera is of megapixel quality and good sensor. Still, Apple stands to revolutionize mobile phone sex with this new feature
I like this guy, also the fact that it show its an 4gb iphone proves his/her point even further that its a place holder. I think that apple has something great in plan as they always do, it should be safe to say that 80% of iphone rumors are true due to the fact that there are people that will go to insane lengths to find out any new feature the new iphone will present. Also I think that the new iphone should have an ARM cortex 7 processor running at speeds of 600mhz ( for multimedia purposes ), 256mb of ram, 3.2mp and 2.0mp cameras with auto focusing, 16 and 32gb of memory, faster 3G (HSPA 7.2mb/s) and faster wifi (802.11n), digital compass, and hopefully a $100 price tag.
I just hope this confirms that fido will be offering the iPhone here, yes Fido is Rogers is Fido, I know. But the per second billing and early weekends makes it worth while to pick Fido over Rogers to me. The rumour has been that Fido won't be offering the next generation iPhone since they've been rebranded.
Fake
This pic is so completely fake.
IF they do come out with a lower end iPhone with 4gb, it will NOT have the front facing camera. IF they do come out with a front facing camera on the main iPhone (which I doubt, and idk why people are so convinced that it will happen, we'll see) of all the features, that would be the one that seems like it would be exclusive to the 'higher end' iPhone.
They might come out with a lower end iPhone nano.
They might come out with a front facing camera.
They will NOT come out with a lower end iPhone nano with a front facing camera.
And just for the record, I don't think there will be a lower end iPhone nano OR a front facing camera.

Yeah, maybe tomorrow I'll print out a picture of the original iPhone and type some random specs next to it and take a picture of it and post it on here so everyone will freak out at the insanely improbable rumor that I created. 4GB w/ front facing camera? And why the hell would they put the picture of the old iPhone as a 'place holder'? Do they have the specs but not a pic of the phone or something? it makes no sense
Interesting...
With a 3 year plan as a requirement...
I'd think AT&T would give you the current $199 phone for $99 if you signed a 3 year contract. (I'm not saying they would, I'm just saying they should)

Little point of going to the trouble of putting in a phone other than the occasional novelty at the coffee house. No, if it's on there it will be supported over 3g. They'll have to advertise it as video conferencing with those that are away. That is, away from their computers. In the mountains, at the lake, etc. Otherwise their target audience might as well use their webcam on their laptop or desktop if they're around a wifi.
why would you not want wifi?? also you sound like my bro chuck. if it is this is steven.
Why would an phone advertisement tailored to the average buyer that uses general terms like 'Email and Messaging' use the specific term 'iChat' in parentheses? I say it is fake. If it is real, oh well, one feature I will never use.
Touché. I'd like to see this being true, but based on AT&T's claims of constraints on bandwidth, I just don't see them doing it. Here's to hoping.
You've already posted your thoughts on the matter, why do you insist on beating people over the head with your opinions? Get lost.
