True, but they do already have girls that go on cam and stuff, so a video phone wouldnt be much different.

video phone sex will never work. if you can see the ugly girls on the other side, you'll most likely puke. either that or they'll have to start paying more for actually good looking girls.

iChat A/V works incredibly well and when Tiger OS X.4 hits it will support multiple user conferences.

True in a sense, but its still kind of like saying "What do I need a car for? A horse can get me there just the same." Last time I used YIM or MSN voicechat, the sound quality was terrible, and its usualy only half duplex.

If the sound quality was at least the same quality of a 900mhz cordless phone and the picture quality/framerate was at least as good as a decent webcam, I can see a reason to buy it.

I'm sure they'll put an option on the phone to toggle cam on and off, so if you dont want the person ot see you, you dont have to let them. At the very least you can cover the lens.

Since the porn industry has been one of the major pushes in quite a few technologies, I can see a company offering video phone sex, hehehe.
