i have tried it with both tytn and tytnII and no luck, i didnt invest alot of time and got busy with life.. but i never got it to work.. im sure if someone actually devoted some time to it that it could possibly work..

A little old, but i'm looking for a video-conference software via wifi/activesync.
MS portrait doesn't recognize my Kaiser's cameras, but it's perfect in my Blue-Angel... But i don't use my BA anymore... :(
Is there any developer here interested in video capabilities of our devices ?
It can do almost everything, but I can't find a video-conferencing software, even with two cameras onboard...

Because there aren't. See my TiVi review posted about a month ago. Unfortunately, you'll need to use another platform (for example, Symbian or a tablet PC) if you do need video calling over IP.

Well... I'm really shocked that nobody in winmo's world is interested in developing a videoconferencing software via wifi... i'd do it if i could...
Portrait is a very good start, but we need something working with newer CPUs...

its was a while since i had posted this that i had run across this app, but even still now after a while from this being posted i have not seen anything like this, i would like to see it work on my XDA Flame b/c i dont have my wizard anymore(friend has it)........its a good idea but it seems now that this has to turn into a much bigger app, in the meaning of having more features and to be updated to be used in the other pc apps other then just the old msn messenger

As I stated: it's impossible to develop a video conferencing app compatible with all handsets. Also see http://msmobiles.com/f/viewtopic.php?t=20292 for more info on this linked from my latest Misc News ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400931 ).

I travel a lot and so I tried setting this up on my Trinity and my wife's laptop. Running in the house via wifi worked. However, there was so much lag as to be unusable. Good luck. I hope someone has a new app for this. (Skype, hopefully).
