On Monday, a lead RIM says the CIO that there will be a new video conferencing applications for the BlackBerry Playbook which soon slid. Of course, a 3 megapixel camera front and rear facing megapixel camera on the Blackberry Playbook is a clear indicator that RIM had been thinking about the video chat from the beginning.
There is some speculation in the past that third-party developers, such as Skype, will give an application to use video chat, but reports that RIM's VP of strategy David Heit has effectively superseded the rumors. According to Heit, Playbook Blackberry application for peer-to-peer video conferencing will be similar to Apple FaceTime and is expected to begin "very soon." Although no official statement has been made regarding the launch date BlackBerry Playbook, most sources agree that April 10 will be time due tablets to be launched, which makes us believe that RIM will launch a video-conferencing application along with this tablet, or soon thereafter.
No information whether Playbook video-chatters will be able to connect with your non-Playbook, it was the fact that there are currently no BlackBerry smartphones equipped with a camera overlooking the front tells us that the application will not be available for the BB handset in the near future.
