Anyone know if Apple allows third party devs to create apps that use the front facing camera? I ask because it would be nice if something like Skype could use it so that I have another way of video chatting with people since no other platform uses FaceTime right now.
Got a tip for us?

You can download "Mirror with Front Camera support" it's currently free for a limited time.

That does nothing to bring communication between the desktop and the iPhone 4...( the topic of this thread )
EDIT: Well, I hope its the topic......Otherwise kinda like a boat without a direction. ( it floats, but who cares and what it the friggin point anyhow? )
Still on topic
Actually, technically the original poster asked "Anyone know if Apple allows third party devs to create apps that use the front facing camera?" and linking to the mirror app does help to answer that question.
The app is useless, I'm sure we can all agree on that, but it does prove that third party developers can interact with the front facing camera. This will hopefully be built upon with skype, windows live, maybe even a native iChat by Apple? Here's hoping.
