Will skype be able to update to include video chat?

[iHalo]

Just wondering... Developers have full access to the cameras, right?

I'm pretty sure they do. Skype would be awesome if the app included video chat!

I'm really hoping so.. this would be so cool, and so useful.

That would be really brilliant if we could "FaceTime" with Skype users!

Im sure you won't be able to use facetime to skype. they will probably add it to their own app but before they do that they still need to add multitasking to their app.

The SDK gives access to camera video feeds, so it should be possible. I doubt that AT&T would allow it over 3G though, but WiFi would still be useful. I don't use Skype now because I have enough normal minutes in my plan, but if I could use the video feature then I would use it more.

Tandberg Movi has already been shown using the Camera as an app, so i'm guessing there will be loads soon.

AT&T will allow it since it doesn't offer unlimited data anymore, except for some of old iphone owners
