The header is the question really in total. Snazzy wee webcam .. MSN Messenger.. the two go great on yer desktop. But on your PDA?. I think we should be told. Looking at a quick past glimpse of posts past .. its a non runner.. but what a wasted opportunity! If you think you know how it can be done .. write in .. NOW!.

Oh and a whinge. ClearVue doesnt want to display my PDF file (jrcalc_guidelines_v3_2004.pdf) but Adobe Reader will .. however as on my Nokia 9500 the pages dont reflow so reading means scrolling all over the shop .. what a palaver! But on the laptop . no probs.. cheers!

Thats it .. now you can go!.

Errrm....not sure if you are asking a question or ranting about MSN.

Wouldn't life be grand if things were as simple as MSN utilizing the same functionality as the Dialer App (i.e. video). Have you SEEN the MSN client? It's about as full of features as MSN version 1.99999.

As to your second comment--many of us here are in agreement that ClearVue screws things up, but Adobe does a better job. There are pros and cons of using both.

Since almost nobody uses video calling, the 2nd camera is currently a bit of a waste. MSN messenger usage would be killer.

I'm asking myself the same question as well as wether you can use this device like a normal webcam (for your pc). I have found some references on http://www.mobile-review.com claiming that you can use a Universal as a webcam for msn but it doesn't say how!

However I did find this: http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/index.html#webcam

which claims to be software that can upload pictures (e.g. every 10 seconds ) from the Universal to a webpage...interesting...anyone tried this?

Also anyone know how to stream video to a webpage from a universal??
