Camera and Camcorder

On our desktop the video looked sharp, and the Thunderbolt handled transitions from lighter to darker areas fairly well.the Thunderbolt incorporates a front-facing camera, there isn't much you can apply about it. Skype told us it is actually working together with Verizon to integrate video calling, but couldn't impart us with a timetable. The front-facing camera also doesn't support video chat apps like Oovoo and Qik (or at least not).
