Apple, once again you have lit my fire for the day! Even if this is all speculation, I am pumped! If Apple hears about this, maybe it will have plans to include such a thing! According to AppleInsider:

More specifically, he claims that a 3G version of the iPhone hardware due in a few months will employ two digital cameras situated back-to-back — one on the front side of the unit behind the transparent touch-screen, and a second one on the back of the handset as it exists today

“He” is the Digg social networking site’s founder Kevin Rose. Sure, he claimed the Apple iPhone would have some extra features it didn’t turn out to have, but what does that have to do with being pumped about an idea like this? Along with being obvious, it seems second-nature for 3G video chat to be included with the Apple iPhone.

Apple hasn’t let me down YET, but I am definetely keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

It’s about time Apple puts their focus on corporate needs. When the iPhone first came out, I knew it wasn’t going to cater to the needs of corporations. They appeared to be aiming towards the general working population. But I am glad to see that Apple knows that it has a wider user base to attract.

Apple’s recognizing of corporate needs is only the first step into the arena. They also have to maneuver their ways through federal restrictions and corporate demands to sell a successful product. Things that could get into Apple’s way include true data encryption, firewall, data protection, secure VPN intranet access, and much more. Sounds like a lot of demands, but if Apple can pull this off, they will be on their way to a much better future.

I highly doubt Apple will be able to attract a large audience if they don’t lighten up about the carrier restrictions in some way without breaking the contract with AT&T, which is as possible as licking my elbow . If only there was a way for this to happen, then I would be happy with my shiny iPhone on my grungy T-Mobile service (with no 3G, I may add). Many corporations have special deals with other cell phone carriers, especially with ones that have fast DSL-like mobile broadband (Verizon). Considering this, it may lessen Apple’s profits from creating an iPhone 2.0.
