3GWeek - Asia’s Mobile News

Ssstt …. He is not Ashton Kutcher please.

The handsome and cute Digg founder (well his face looks like Hollywood star isn’t he), Kevin Rose made a buzz through the net. Again. He said that the next 3G iPhone will have an ability to do video chat via Apple’s famous iChat. Follow the buzz on here (YouTube), here (Into Mobile), and then here (Tech Meme).

Wow, if that’s really happen, Apple iPhone maniac surely will happy about this. Especially for those who have used Mac regularly. Unfortunately, get ready for this fact. Kevin, besides his successful act on Digg is also popular as a bad and false rumor maker.

Proof it! Well before 3G iPhone comes, He also rumoring on stuffs like this; that the iPhone would launch with two battery compartments, slide-out keyboard, and both GSM and CDMA versions. That’s a fake rumor. Of course.

Even further, Kevin also said that (via Into Mobile):

… that the 3G iPhone will use a dual-camera setup (one camera on the rear for picture-taking duty and a front-facing cam under the multi-touch display glass) to get jiggy with video calls. Futhermore, the Digg founder claims that Apple is restricting third-party iPhone applications from running in the background in order to squash any potential competition to its iChat application - through which the iPhone is said to deliver its video chat goodness.

As a blogger and reader, it is nice to wait for the 3G iPhoen and all the rumor surrounding it. Yet, Apple could be miss something. The Canadian will have their BlackBerry goes 3.5G (HSDPA/HSUPA). Keep watching 3GWeek for this one.
