Android 2.3.4 could have video calling

Android 2.3.4 might get video calling as a standard feature, a rumor suggests. Honeycomb (3.0) does support video chat using Google Talk.

That feature is one example of the way that applications once thought of as being services provided for a fee are becoming applications used on devices that support the feature natively. It is a fairly broad trend and isn't likely to halt.

Whatever the adjustments that are being made to existing industries and business models, over time more features and apps that once were viewed as services bought from providers have become "just one more app" a communications device using the Internet can support.
