New iPhone to Feature Video Chat?

Boy Genius Report has published a rumour about the possibility of video chat on the new iPhone. The source of the rumour is Fido’s 2009 product roadmap which BGR says it is “very far away from being able to confirm”. The published image shows a $99 4GB iPhone with “Video Calling (iChat)” listed in the features list.
The most notable slide has to do with a 4GB iPhone 3G. While there is a huge disclaimer that the image isnt the device itself, the slide depicts a 4GB iPhone model that will run for $99 and come with quad-band EDGE, tri-band HSDPA, a 2 megapixel shooter and, believe it or not, iChat video calling (oh hi, front-facing camera).
It is unknown how authentic the image is but BGR doesn’t seem very convinced.

I’m skeptical about the 4GB iPhone for Fido, but the video chat rumor just has to be right. It’s the only conceivable change in this year’s IPhone model that would be big enough to upstage the Palm Pre release.
