Video calls on the iPad? Whatever could that be? An unusually cropped image courtesy of 9to5mac shows us video call testing on the iPad which suggests that the iPad will soon have a front-facing camera and that Facetime is an inevitable juggernaut on all iOS devices.

My question is this: when are the rest of the manufacturers going to release Facetime clones? That they’ve been sitting on their hands for so long that I’m worried – and don’t tell me your Nokia had video chat way back in ought-three because no one cares. Popular video calling is what we’re talking about, not a hack.
