Observant viewers have found what they believe could be a front-facing videocamera in Phil Schillers demo iPhone.
"Gizmodo readers and conspiracy theorist aficionados Nathan Ziehnert & Friends have spent a few hours analyzing the footage from the WWDC08 keynote like CSI agents investigating the Zapruder film. The result: they found what they believe could be a front-facing videocamera in Applemeister Phil Schiller's demo iPhone 3G."
Its possible he was using a prototype or possibly this is just a fingerprint or optical illusion but take a look at the images and video below!
I strongly believe apple is saving a few surprises for the iPhone 3G launch!!
Front camera, Flash player, copy/paste, video call & mms... maybe some of this features aren't ready yet, don't forget the 2.0fw is still beta.
Also the iPhone 3G patent mentions:
Instant Messaging
Flash and Quicktime in Safari
A blogging client
Java software downloads
MMS messaging
Voice activated commands
Voice Recording
Optical sensor for videoconferencing
None of these features were mentioned yet...
At first I thought it was a camera (it could be, I want a front facing camera) but
if you look at the video, at first you see the "camera" but after 12 seconds
when he turns the "camera" is gone. But Im not sure and I hope there will be a camera
But it didn't looked like that Im afraid
it looks like a smudge...if you watch the video you can see the frame where the "front facing camera" would be, then the next frame when he asks the audience to clap she turns the phone away from the direct light were it looks like there is no camera. In my opinion it would be able to be seen with or without light.
It looks really convincing though.
And he had the case on so people wouldnt see what the new iphone looked like before steve presented it at the end

True, although, why would he have it wrapped in this ugly grey cover for an official presentation? I think he was definitely hiding something and I vote for the prototype hypothesis !
