Apple's FaceTime video chat, which has been knocked by detractors for only working over Wi-Fi and only on the iPhone, might be coming to many more devices soon. According to Boy Genius Report, an upcoming version of IOS has some code that suggests FaceTime will become available for non-iPhone devices like the iPod Touch and the iPad, using Apple IDs instead of phone numbers.Calling using your email address is cool, but there's still the problem that the current-gen iPod Touch and iPad don't have front-facing cameras. Using FaceTime as a voice-only VoIP call would still be useful, but that's not likely what will happen: this new information strongly implies that the next iPad and iPod Touch will have dual cameras. The FaceTime protocol isn't actually closed, either, so it's possible that FaceTime will also one day come to the desktop. We can dream, right?
