It was a little bit eyebrow-raising when Microsoft made no mention of a front-facing camera in Windows Phone Mango. Thankfully in Mango’s Beta 2 Dev Tools, there’s a button that’ll toggle front and rear cameras. Welcome to the present!
It’s not exactly official yet, but what else could that button do? Plus, everyone else has one so Windows Phone Mango, to stay feature consistent, has to have a front facing camera too. Right? RIGHT?! [WPCentral]

Friday, July 1, 2011 at 11:44 AMAmazing how microsoft looks like getting a front facing camera and its “welcome to the present!”
The iPhone cant even make a 3G video call so when will they be comming to the present?
When the iPhone finaly has wireless sync will you welcome it to the present? I suspect it will be revolutionary

Given skype video is now on other devices also it has a real chance of becoming the defacto video chat.
Facetime will never catch on well with the fact it’s only iOS to iOS.
