3 Skype

Skype – It already exists but why not expand it even more? If you aren’t familiar with Skype here is a quick summary of what it can do. You can talk to anyone in the world using Skype for free as long as the other person is on Skype too. You can also video chat. You can use it to call actually cell phones and numbers, but you have to subscribe to the monthly fee. Basically Skype takes tried to make communicating with others via the web more immersive. We’ve been able to IM others for sometime now, and even voice chat. Now there is video chat. Currently on the iPhone app you can make Skype to Skype calls as long as you are on Wi-Fi. Why now get the camera feature working too. Obviously you will run into the problem that the camera is in the back and you can’t see what you are filming, however this would be really unique and add a new option to the app. Major problems I find currently with making this possible is the network bandwidth that would be needed to stream video.
