So Apple finally launched their long-awaited 3G iPhone on Monday. And as impressive as the new phone was, of course there were a string of complaints for wish list items that did not make it into the iPhone v2.
Chief among the complaints was a lack of video calling and a second front-facing camera. I've written about this topic before questioning why the US is so far behind the rest of the world on this but still have not gotten a satisfactory answer. If 2 of the 4 US operators use the GSM standard and have 3G networks, and use many of the same phones from the same vendors around the world, then why can't they use the same phones with video calling as a features.
There was an article on this today in one of Australia's leading newspapers asking the same question I've been asking -- why is the US so far behind in this particular area when it is so far ahead in so many others:

If you have ideas on the subject (or if you are from AT&T mobility or T-Mobile and have the answer), please let me know. Still stumped on this question...
