Apple iChat (Video Calling): Coming to iPhone 4G, iPad and iPod – Rumor

A recent screenshot looking at the background processes for the recently unveiled iPhone 4.0 operating system has leaked some shocking information, this is because there is a background processor called ‘iChatAgent’.

Although this is currently unconfirmed it appears as if this background process could be for the popular Apple iChat software, this could bring video calling functionality to all iPhone OS 4.0 compliant devices.

Obviously at the moment none of the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad versions feature a front-facing camera, however this recent revelation could seriously hint towards a future iPhone version (iPhone 4G) featuring a front-facing camera.

If iChat does come to a future iPhone it could add even more strain to AT&T’s somewhat ‘fragile’ network, do you think AT&T’s network could deal with video calling?
