While AT&T customers are celebrating more cellular access to FaceTime, Imagination Technologies is marketing a competing video service to carriers — video chat via Facebook. The company says its carrier customers are eager to upsell their customers with new communication apps.
“There are a lot of non-realtime applications like geo location and file transfer, image share, video share, and now those get integrated with the real-time applications like the voice and the video,” says Saraj Mudigonda, business development manager for Imagination’s HelloSoft V.VoIP. He says the next step will be integrating social media contacts with the native contact lists on mobile devices, and enabling multimedia content sharing capabilities for all contacts. Bringing real-time voice and video chat to Facebook is a good start.
