Looks like it was only a matter of time.  So now, you can video Skype from a Windows PC to an iPhone or iPod touch!  Nice!!  :)

That's awesome, makes me want to get another iPad next year with the camera.

Hmmm, that has to be awkward at best on a 3Gs (which I have).  I guess it is a one way video call, or you have to use a compact mirror.  I'll have to experiment with the feature.

It looks like it's supported but ad I've never video Skype'd with anyone since my brother came back from Africa I doubt I'll ever need to use it.

Still, isn't technology wonderful!

Not really meant for use on older models that lack the camera support.

3Gs just has the rear facing video camera - but I get the option to have a video call.  Anyone tested this yet on the 3Gs?
