Can The iPhone 4 Change Video Conferencing Forever?

Written by Jeremy Johnson

facetime_cropApple’s iPhone has been a game-changer in portable devices since its original smart phone shippedin 2007. The extremely loyal fanbase swears that the new iPhone 4 is so much more than” just another phone,” and they’re right. The communication and productivity tools have come quite a long way in such a short span of time.  It’s probably why thousands camp out annually at each new release. What is yet to be determined, however, is the integration of one of the iPhone’s newest features, video conferencing, and its ability to push video conferencing into prominence as the foremost communication tool in today’s marketplace.

In the June 7th keynote that introduced the product, Apple chief Steve Jobs provided a quick demo and went into some depth about the capabilities of what he calls “Facetime” (watch after the jump)

While highlighting the specs, he did mention that Facetime will eventually run on open protocols, using  many of today’s tech industry standards. The alphabet soup list (explained here) of gateways essentially suggests that the iPhone will easily interface with everything, from basic home systems like Skype and g-chat, all the way up to high-definition conference rooms.

Will the immediate market saturation and accessibility have a dynamic effect on video conferencing? The iPhone 4 could become the “LeBron James" of communication and potentially tip the scales, catapulting video conferencing to become the dominant communication method. Wired magazine seems to think that if Apple allows Facetime to crossover to the large PC market that there’s a great chance of success.

*How do you think Facetime will change – well, everything? Comment below and let us know what you think.
