Video Calling Feature Found in iPhone 4G / HD Test Firmware
Earlier we have posted several articles on the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD device, few of them were leaked specs, few were rumors while others were based on strong evidences. And now screenshots from a field test firmware on iPhone 4G / HD has surfaced and the fact was revealed that these iPhone 4G screenshots were taken during video calling field test on the next iPhone.
This means that iPhone 4G or so called iPhone HD will have video calling feature. But the screenshots does not show the real video calling interface, but they reveal more evidence of this new feature.
It won’t take much time to know about the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD as everything will be revealed at the WWDC 2010 on June 7th. [via]

Everyone's talking about Apple "igniting" video calling. But didn't HTC Evo came out with that already, first? And, btw, their phone is already out.
The video chat demo: http://bit.ly/9FIO2w
ok, so the iPhone has more users than HTC Evo, so mass adoption of video calling is more likely to start with iPhone than HTC. But how is that possible with AT&T?
First, there's the 2GB cap by AT&T
I currently use between 500 – 600mb on my 3Gs, using just Facebook, Safari, Gmail and recently Foursquares. Should I use video chat and pay $10 per gig extra?
HTC Evo runs on 4G (10x faster than 3G) which gives video calling a 1 second lag (as seen on the demo). AT&T's intermittent 3G signal sucks, if you haven't notice.
So there goes the iPhone igniting the video chat revolution, not to mention that the iPhone 4G is not compatible with a 4G network even if it's available thru AT&T.
