The word on the street (surmised from the software development kit) is that Apple has developed API support for the iPad to test if your iPad has a Front Facing Camera – exactly what’s been missing for video chat. Rumor has it “accept” and “decline” icons for video on the iPad have turned up. Others report it’s been stripped out. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that it could make it into iPad 1.0, even if it would be awkward holding up the device for video conferencing.
Vidtel‘s plan is to develop gateways to proprietary video communications systems, including Apple, so that Apple’s FaceTime will interoperate with other video communications applications.
