Mickey asks, I have recently swapped my MAC for a Windows PC. I can’t seem to find my favorite Instant messenger iChat for Windows. Does it exist? If it does where can I download it?
iChat is native MAC application which has been setting the bar for instant messaging services. To be honest, I can’t think of a single IM client that can be compared to iChat as far as its ease of use, stability and integration features are concerned.
All 3G enabled Samsung Smart phones have a front camera for video calling, but how do you turn it on. Well, I am not sure if you can click pictures with the front camera or not, but u can sure activate it with a simple code.
