So video calls in itself is nothing new or revolutionary for us deaf and hard of hearing swedes. But the nice thing about the iPhone, as I see it, is the increase in video quality, and the possibility to either use the iPhone OR a Macintosh computer (for when you want a larger picture which always is a plus when signing och reading lips). I can definitly see the iPad 2, with its cameras, becoming popular amongst the signing population.

Or perhaps someone will make an app for levitating the phone?
