iPhone Features Strike Again!


It seems as if almost all of the new articles coming out regarding the iPhone make me want it more and more.

The iChat feature has finally found its way into the iPhone software…sort of. Though it’s still in the developing and secretive stages, there are promising things to come for this application. The iChat feature ranges from inviting fellow friends to terminating calls. Different sources can verify that Apple is testing video chat on four different servers, three of which are hosted on Apple’s intranet and the other one open to the world.

About 30 various sources did provide more insider information to 9to5mac.com, but everyone else is keeping everything under wraps. However, Apple is strategically dropping hints in this semi-private public sphere even though the company loves to keep even the smallest bits of information in secrecy. In this World Wide Web, people are sure to find out; perhaps Apple is embracing the marketing world through the beauty of rumors and word-of-mouth to draw attention to the product.

Greg Kumparak thinks that iChat on the iPhone will not be able to compete or surface with leading third-party applications out there. But Apple may still be using parts of the iChat foundation to power the video chat service.

I’m sure we’ll hear more news in the future. Apple will make sure of that.
