Video calling for IM+ will be based on Fone solutions and will enable seamless Skype like video calls between Facebook contacts. Same as with Skype the calls will be free, and you will be able to make calls from mobile to mobile and from your mobile device to a desktop computer. Besides talking with your Facebook contacts you can use IM+ for chatting with your friend on other popular networks, including Yahoo IM, Skype, Twitter, Gtalk and other.

This new app should become available for download in the iTunes App Store during the next week. The price of the app is $9.99. Do you think this is a good idea? Would you like to be able to video call your Facebook friends?
