Facebook Messenger app rumored to include video calling in next update
According to iPhoneiTalia, Facebook is working on an update to its Messenger app that will deliver Facebook video calls across multiple platforms. Facebook currently offers a video calling service between users on desktop web browsers using its agreement with Skype. According to sources, the update to the Facebook messenger app is already being tested in the wild and should be revealed in the not too distant future.
This update appears to be a natural progression for the Facebook Messenger app. The idea of being able to video chat with another Facebook user on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch would be extremely appealing to many. The app should be compatible with any iOS device with a front facing camera. We will let you know as soon as we hear any more information!

wonder if this will work without wifi
skype works without wifi, and seeing as this seems to be related to that, I would imagine it should be the same. tl;dr - yes
what about all this >>> http://j.mp/ifgGhD
i wonder how the facebook app developers will screw this up
Will it work with people on desktops too? If it does and works on 3G Facebook chat would easily become more popular than FaceTime.
