One of the things rumored to be in the new 3G iPhone was a forward facing camera to allow video conferencing.
Alas, it was not to be, and we are left with the sub par camera that is already on the device.
A couple of days ago, I came across a posting on one of the many Mac rumor sites that I read ago that someone had found an entry in the QuickTIme files for an iSight HD camera. I bought the original iSight a long time ago (a beautifully designed slim aluminum tube that sat on top of your monitor) and was a little disappointed that they stopped selling it, but it got me to thinking about a potential solution for the iPhone web conference
If Apple release the new iSight HD with a compatible iPhone dock, you could have a portable iChat compliant web conferencing tool with significantly better video quality without the need to have a camera in the phone, especially if the dock had A/V output capability.
A portable video conferencing solution...
Probably never happen, but it makes you wonder how many crazy things are going to show up on the iPhone 3G when it eventually launches on July 11th
