hmmmm...I doubt I will be taking pictures of text, but a funny "bug" nonetheless

Not that big a deal for me.

Funny. Wonder if it is that way for Qik or something so that when you video conference your image looks like a mirror to you. Anyone tried to see if it is fixed on the Qik app output?

In Fring video it is reversed too.

I think this is actually a fault of the output software, in this case, Fring and Qik.

My understanding is that most video programs like Skype are properly programmed to show yourself mirrored on your computer when using a front-facing camera. If they didn't and you tried to reach for your right ear, on screen it would look like you were reaching for your left ear. However, whoever is receiving your broadcast sees the output as you would want it be seen--not mirrored.
