Remember when we posted a rumor that FaceTime would soon be coming to OS X and Windows? Our wishes have been answered in a mega way, sort of.
iMovicha (Mobile Video Chat) is a cross platform video-chat application available for iOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, Windows and OS X (it will come to BlackBerry soon as well). All platforms are covered!
Its greatest feature really is its ability to video chat from smartphone-to-desktop (think iPhone 4 to Windows / OS X).
From the official website:
Mobile Video Chat on WiFi and 3G network
Have a live video chat with your buddies on desktop and with any major smartphone with camera; voice call and Instant message with your buddies any time.
iMovicha supports multiple operating systems in mobile and laptop platforms. Video call can either be mobile-to-mobile or laptop-to-mobile or laptop-to-laptop.
iMovicha key features: Video Calling, Voice Calling, IM, Presence Group Management, Contact Management, Preference Management
Chat with your buddies who are using iMovicha in other mobile devices and laptops (MAC and windows).
