It’s true, folks. The guys over at Mac Daddy World have written a hack / app that allows two-way video conferencing for the Apple iPhone.

Two-way video conferencing on Apple iPhone

But, the camera is on the back of the iPhone! How’d they do it? Well, they.. ehem.. thought outside of the “box”. They attached a couple of mirrors to the back of the iPhone. Incredibly cool that they were able to video conference on the iPhone.. but, uhh.. wow. Incredibly impractical to carry mirrors. Not to mention, it completely takes away from the aesthetic appeal of the iPhone. I wonder if the iPhone could be modded.. Cut a hole in the top right of the face and flip the camera around inside. Now that would be cool! Too bad Apple didn’t do this to begin with. A camera in the front, and one in the back would have been nice. Oh well.. maybe next time. However, I can imagine an external piece of hardware that attaches to the bottom of the iphone.. complete with a forward facing camera. Still, takes away from the aesthetics.. But, it sure beats a couple of mirrors!
