Two way video supported on the iPhone 4, 3GS and even iPod Touch 4th generation so that is a bonus. You can even use the video feature between desktop machines. I don't use Skype, but it's slick that you can now do video calling with a 3GS.&nbsp;</p>

Works great! Now we can video chat with all of our non-iPhone/non-Mac friends & family. Right about now, Apple should be releasing FaceTime for Windows, Android and WindowsPhone! :D

While it would be nice to have Facetime for Windows Phone, or Skype for that matter, since none currently have a front facing camera, the video aspect is less than appealing.

Wow. That's how out of touch I am with phones other than an iPhone. I assumed android and windows phones were already video chatting on skype and iPhone was just catching up. Well...would like FaceTime for windows at least! :)
