Camera Chat For Free! (we all want it)

[joekinney@hotmail.com]

i was ondering if there were any software that would allow 2exec' to estabilish a video chat session over wifi rather than paying for the 3G rates... also if there were a way to do the same with regular pc users too

thanks for any information

Not as yet even though the camera does have the facility to be integrated into applications, unfortunately no-one has yet!

Video calling is good though!

I sent an email to the MS Portrait team and they told me that this may be included in a future version if they can get the camera API.

I think it would be a killer app that will separate the Jasjar from all the others.

You are wrong. With PocketCaster www.comvu.com you can stream videos from both cameras via GPRS, UMTS, WiFi up to Comvu-Server.

Dubrand,

Thanks for the info. However since I haven't yet seen this tool you are referring to, is this tool solely a video blog? In other words, from what you are saying, it cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (like in MSN Messenger on the PC) but only to save and upload a video clip on a server no?

Tks.

Thanks Dubrand! :) Looks like a fun little app/service. 8)

Thanks a lot!
It cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (YET). But i think this is a terrific proof of the concept that the build in camera can be used in (interactive) applications from third parties. An exciting promise for future use of the HTC Universal.

thanks for the info. i think this is a must have and when it is fully integrated into say msn messenger this will be my far the best device / gadget for years :)
