Apple Introduces iPhone 3G Videoconferencing Kit, ZOMG!
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 12:40 AM on June 12, 2008
Those of you complaining about the lack of front camera and videoconferencing in the new iPhone, stop saying words. This July 11 you will be able to buy the Apple Videoconferencing Kit for iPhone 3G at just US$29. Press release and an exclusive leaked photo of the user manual—showing how it exactly works—right after the jump.
Apple introduces the iPhone 3G Videoconferencing Kit, ZOMG!
WWDC SAN FRANCISCO--June 11, 2008--Apple® today unveiled the Apple Videoconferencing Kit®, the world's first videoconference accessory for the world's best phone, the iPhone 3G. Using a unique silicon-based mirror material and natural bamboo wood for its handle and base, the Apple Videoconferencing Kit measures an unprecedented 0.5 inches at its thinnest point. Its low weight and unique shape—developed following strict Human Interface tests and anatomical studies—will allow the user to easily hold it in front of the iPhone 3G camera, allowing face-to-face video communication with users all around the world.
"We've built the world's best cellphone--again," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO and famed fried tofu fan. "But it didn't feel... complete. So I said to Phil, hey! Phil, yo! Where's the damn front camera? Can we do iChat AV with this shit? He said we couldn't, but then... then he pulled out his hand mirror and said: 'what about this?'"
Phil Schiller, senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing and Apple's Cool Guy at Large, explained how it all went after that: "Steve thought it was ok, but he didn't like the pink plastic and shiny beads, so we asked Jon to come up with an evolution of the design." The team lead by Jonathan Ive was left with the challenge of making the Apple Videoconferencing Kit a reality: "We wanted the design to feel complete, as a whole holistic experience for the user, something that would talk from the inside, and be pure function. It just feels that way now."
The Apple Videoconferencing Kit ultra-shiny surface allows for an extremely clear image, the best in its class, and can be easily customised using any kind of materials, from stickers to Crayola. It will be available in July 11 for US$29.
Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market with its revolutionary iPhone.
Indeed, it looks like Apple keeps pushing the envelope. [Other Gizmodo Fake News]
For those of you who don't get it, this is a criticism of the lack of front camera and video conferencing in the iPhone 3G. Looking at the new model, I think it is clear that Apple has decided to milk the current iPhone for another year instead of actually pushing the envelope big time. After all, why rush it when you are still entering the market and you can increase your margins?
While I'm sure that iChat AV-compatible videoconferencing will come to the iPhone, the fact is that Apple has decided we don't need it, expanding the lifetime of the previous generation by adding 3G and new software, in order to get more return out of their original investment. I can't blame them. And it even makes sense from a development point of view, making sure that every step works before taking another. However, as a consumer and gadget addict who wants it all, that doesn't make me happy.

When I used to use my SE T68i (Still the greatest mobile of its time in my eyes) I had to carry around a camera attachment if I wanted to take pics. Innovative for the time but ticked me off to no end, as it was something else to jingle around in the pocket. If Jesus phone Trois-G ever came out with a vidcall attachment I wouldn't touch it.

On a more serious note, how many people actually thought Apple would put videoconferencing in the 3G? I think the concerns about AT&T's very limited bandwidth to accommodate all these new phones has been well publicized. How the heck could they handle the data demands of two way video calls??? Not feasible, not now, not several years from now. Keep dreaming.

"I think it is clear that Apple has decided to milk the current iPhone for another year instead of actually pushing the envelope big time."
- did you ever think that maybe it has more to do with ATT then Apple.
If there is video conference on the phone, that would be an awful bandwidth hog... plus people wouldn't use there minutes as much.
and if it was WiFi only... everyone here would just be bitching that you can't do it over the 3G network.

@onlooker:
Unlike EDGE the HSPA technology allows streaming real-time voice and data so the caller could be either placing a video call or talking on the phone via bluetooth headset or speakerphone while surfing the internet. Here in Canada both Rogers and Fido offer video calling plans otherwise it's $0.25/video call minute on top of the customer's plan regular airtime rate. As for doing this over WIFI I don't believe it's possible at this time. UMA devices for T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home and Rogers Home Calling Zone don't allow video calls over WIFI, at least not yet ;)

@onlooker - totally agree. I think it has a lot more to do with ATT than folks are giving credit. Video conferencing means I won't use nearly as many minutes....
But people will need data which is why they raised data plans.
I'd say look for the video chat iPhone until AFTER the 3-year exclusive deal with ATT is over. So summer of 2010 is my guess.

Don't laugh. I've emailed ecamm (the blokes who make the huckleberry) and they will be looking into making a iphone sleeve/protector with a mirror to shoot forward.

I don't even have an iPhone and I want one of these kits. Hmm, I wonder if I could start a company to make clones......

the mirror idea sounds kinda foolish, but something like huckleberry would be good enough for those that really want others to see their face when on the phone http://www.ecamm.com/mac/huckleberry/ cheers

Cmon $29!!! I would never get one of these things. Now if it was $299 ($369 with the Apple warranty) we can talk.

It would be funny if the iPhone has a video recording capabilities in the first place. You cant really do video conferencing with taking pictures only.....

The genius is that you don't actually have to point the mirror at your head per say...

I love the iphone but dont you think that Apple makes MS look like a saint? I mean come on how hard is it to add a front camera to the damn thing? I think Bill Gates is looking at his Billion Dollar Mansion and saying "That is just low, Not even I would do that"
