There were lots of reasons video-calls on mobile phones never really took off here in the UK, amongst them crappy quality cameras and the iffy reliability of the networks, but the real killer blow was the stupidly high charges levied by the carriers; at least you won't have that issue over WiFi. Also, lots of people are more used to to idea of video calls now, thanks to software like Skype.

+1. I wonder if they might make an iPad Mini (6") with that screen technology - smaller device but higher res screen, lighter weight but with good battery life etc... Might be interesting - pretty sure my wife would buy one...
