Tons of evidence to support video conferencing and video chat has been found in the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta, according to 9to5Mac.

The conference.framework folder shows the sounds which will alert a user to an incoming Video Chat Request. They are the same sounds as the iChat Mac OS X application.

The CoreLocalizable.strings file contains Video/Chat Room/Moderator/Encryption strings. The Property List is within an Apple Private Framework which displays the default calls the iChat App will need to make. Note the calls for Chat Rooms and Moderation

These strings indicate that video conferencing on the iPhone will include both video chats and video conference calling (multiple people).

9to5Mac has also discovered that Apple's iPhone video conferencing services already has an external server which is open for external testing.

Since the 4.0 firmware only somewhat supports it, we don't know how to operate it or the syntax, but one module that is up and running on the server is what kicks off the process, the VCInit module, here: https://17.254.3.138/WebObjects/VCInit.woa/wa/ (expect it to be taken down shortly after this goes public)

Congratulations to 9to5Mac for these finds. It seems increasingly likely that these features will be ready for the next iPhone hardware update.
