Apple Filming New iPhone Ads Featuring Video Chat
Engadget reports that Apple has already started filming new ads featuring the next generation iPhone. The new ads are reportedly being directed by Sam Mendes.
According to the site's source, the new iPhone is referred to internally as Mammoth / N90. At least one scene from the ad is said to be featuring a video chat conversation between a mother and daughter using the iPhone's new front-facing camera. Engadget also cites a few recent tweets from actors who have revealed they have been auditioning for the new Apple ads.
Video conferencing has been a long discussed possibility for Apple's iPhone, though it has not yet been a very popular feature across many other phones. We've put together this poll to ask how appealing a feature it really is for the next iPhone:

I have no need for video chat, but i'm sure Apple will convince me I want it.

Video chat is kinda like GPS when it first came out to me. It seems unnecessary and just "cool" at first, but once you get it, you wonder how you did without.

Totally don't get video chat. Never use it on my mac and would be far less likely to use it on a cell phone. But it's one less thing for people to whine about not having, so that's good. ;)

i don't see the big deal; and probably wont use it much (yet)... but i do see how teenagers would like a 4-way chat, and when combined with mobility (say at a rock concert), I think it would be interesting.
