This is just plain fcuking stupid App Stores and ecosystems = good answer to demanding market = more developing jobs = economy running = everybody happy Freedom and openness = no 1st/3rd party support = community left to do everything = flamewars on the interwebs = basement dwellers wildest fantasies = disappointment and brand deserting
On the three network in the UK in 2003, video calls over 3g were the same value as voice calls for the introductory first year. I had 900 mins a month of these and it worked fine. It was pretty good and I used it a bit but many times you didn't want people to know where you were (people will force you to use it if they know you have it)!! And then they charged extra for the service and I didn't really miss it.
