Yesterday KitGuru reported on a web based Jailbreaking software interface for your iPhone and today we have found out that there is a very cool feature set available to those who have a hacked iPhone – FaceTime video conferencing over 3G.
9 to 5 Mac have reported on it and have actually created a very handy video showcasing the feature. More importantly for those on a bandwidth limited scheme they also recorded vital information on data use – their reports show that 5 minutes of operation worked out around 15MB of data. This is a good indication of why carriers are not yet officially offering this over 3G with a standard call plan.
KitGuru says: Are you interested in video conferencing over 3G? cool or useless?
That is a lot of bandwidth and not really practical, very cool application however.
