It’s just a rumor but Kevin Rose of Digg puts forth that the second generation iPhone will allow video chat.

Rose claims in this video clip that the new 3G iPhone will have two cameras, including one in the front specifically for video conferencing.

I wonder how much latency and jitter will be on the AT&T 3G network.

Streaming a live two-way video conversation over a cellular telephone network will be challenging. The experience will have to be great in order to meet the expectations of iPhone users.

Maybe it will be primarily for video chatting over the iPhone’s WiFi connection. I could see that as more feasible.
