It needs a second, front facing camera.  That would add maybe €5 to 10 to the price, but it would chew up bandwidth, Many users only get a GB of usage a month....

edit: hey, the iPhone couldn't offer two-way videochat anyway, could it, since the camera is facing the wrong way.  Maybe a little clip-on mirror would help...

THe difference is the apple blind followers are always rewarded for their following. the amiga ones are never rewarded...

How many "app stores" do you think there have been up throught the years? Really, all this was done _long_ before Apple did it, and it wasnt a new spectacular idea at the time Amiga talked about it either, it had been around for quite some time already by then.

Appearantly the crowd of blind amiga followers and blind apple followers has a certain overlap. :laughing:

Well-known name?  Maybe if it's business were Spanish Lesbians, but it's hardly a well known name in computers....
