iPhone OS 3.2 supports for video calling, file downloads
The iPad may not have a camera in its current incarnation, but a late discovery has showed that iPhone 3.2 may hold the basic structure for features that could ultimately reach future iPhones, including video calling. It also has the option of running the video in a small portion of the screen and could potentially multitask, though whether this is evidence of preparation for true multitasking isn’t certain.
A well known iPhone firmware cracker, chpwn, has also clarified some of the features of the shared file area and other aspects of the OS. He notes that the firmware should allow downloading files, such as from Safari, and sharing them with other apps. The move would address a common complaint of would-be converts from Symbian and Windows Mobile, both of which often allow downloading non-image files.
