i read an interesting article thought i would share.
could the future of bbm have video chat? i think that would be a great idea. RIM could have a real hit if they took the popularity of bbm and added video support.
Great topic, we have debated the possibility of BBM having video conferencing on this forum Some members seem to think it's a bad idea since BBM is supposed to be text only. Personally, I think it would be interesting to be able to see the person you are messaging with.
I think this would be a great idea for the PlayBook. It would also be a very nice feature for BBM on BB phones. Even if it's only available over wifi. I think this would definitely give reason for people to stick to BB and I think it's far more powerful than facetime considering BBM would support both text and video chat.
Although these services aren't used often imo, they can highly influence consumers' buying decisions.
I was actually having a few drinks with a friend that works at RIM on the weekend, he said the bbm 6 will have video chat, and 'it will make apple facetime look like a joke'
He mentioned something about it running very well on 3g networks.
Sorry if the details are vague, I did have more then a few drinks over the evening, lol.

Wow, great function, this will be a very nice feature of the BBM type BB association for mobile phones. Even if the only available WiFi. I think this will definitely give people reason to stick to the BB, I think this is considered much stronger than the BBM, FaceTime Association will support text and video chat.
