Hello. I have a htc touch hd with default windows mobile 6.1.
It is my first pda, and I was sure I could use it almost as a PC.
What i am really missing is the possibility to videocall. I am not referring to normal videocalls...i don't need them, and i think they are not cheap.
I mean i was really sure i could make video meetings with mobile applications of skype and windows msn messenger.
I have at the moment on the PDA: skype application, default microsoft messenger application, and fring (for SIP voipstunt calls, skype and msn messenger).
Well, none can do videocalls.
I've surfed the net and everyone is asking WHY skype has not yet given the possibility to use the front camera for a videocall?
No 3rd party application exists. It is nonsense. It is no hardware problem, every pda has a camera, and the cpu power to run it, and the possibility to use a wifi hotspot downloading enough bandwidth to receive or send camera videos (if the wifi offers a good internet connection, but then it's not a limit of the phone).
So why should i NOT be able to use this camera for this purpose?
I am in japan, i have wifi almost everywhere, i don't need actually a 'phone' signal to phone, because i can do everything with internet (voipstunt or skype) and calling everybody in the world. Just this feature of the webcam for videocalls in skype is missing. Is that so heavy to run a video in 320x240 with the front camera?
i really can't get it....
