Why I’m Glad The iPhone 3g Won’t Have Video Chat June 10
For the last few months rumor had it that the new iPhone 3g would have an extra camera on the front for video calling. There are a few phones with one-way video calling available on the market already, but none with a user-base even remotely comparable to the iPhone. Considering how influential the iPhone (well, Apple in general) has been lately, this would have brought video calling into the mainstream.
It turns out that there was no truth to this rumor. Steve Jobs, our “fearless leader”, made no mention of video calling when he announced the second generation of the iPhone on Monday. At first my little heart was broken… then I realized the potentially hazardous implications video calling could have on my social life.
