I was checking a bit on engadget about the iphone 4 and:
If you didn't know anything about video calling, Apple would definitely have you convinced that they just up and invented the concept based on never-aired Jetsons footage judged too futuristic for TV. Of course, the truth is that in lots of other places (and even in the US to an extent), smartphone video calling isn't exactly a new thing. In fact, in much of Europe and Asia, this technology is old hat.

And that brings the question, isn't video calling standard in all new phones since... i dunno 2005? I mean what else would you use the front camera for?!
Is this just reality here in Sweden or are they exagerating?
