Okay. So I went to this website:

Many of you probably already know about this software.
I want to see if it works with the xda-I
Not only that, but I would like to see if it works with that Gaborvision camera for the XDA-I. I believe it may because the camera comes with the ability to take video clips. However, the proprietary software may be doing the work, and Microsoft doesn't say XDA-I supported. Why should they, it's a niche thing.

Nonetheless, for the sake of argument, let's say it works. Yay! Aha! If so, I want to see if it is possible to take the camera apart (cannibalize it) and make the camera face the operator.

If you've got t-mobile data connection and this setup, you are videoconferencing baby, and before the networks start supporting it themselves :)

If someone has a beat up camera they are willing to sell at reduced price or even donate to the cause, please email (iatepee@yahoo.com - yah, it's weird, I know) me or PM me.

For those with XDA-IIs, man. You gotta try this, it's almost in the bag.
