I wonder if I will be able to use the iPhone4 front-facing camera to do video over 3G here in Norway or if the iOS software will require a wifi connection. Anyone know? BTW, the US is really in a telecom-technical backwater. Cellphone users on the other side of the atlantic have enjoyed video conference calls on their handset for many years and over true 3G, not as a wifi hack. So the whole "'First to Do It' vs. 'First to Do It Right'" is kind of amusing as this is rather old outside of the US.

- ZeroGravitas 16y agoThe first assumption in that article is wrong, the video is sent at the camera resolution (VGA) not the screen resolution. That's not only wrong, it's kinda stupid so maybe we shouldn't listen to him on the rest either.
- brisance 16y agoThanks for responding. This is supposedly a HD video clip taken on the iPhone 4, as you can see it is 1280x720. So the guy's estimate was conservative. http://vimeo.com/12671233?hd=1 http://vimeo.com/12671233?hd=1
