Video Messaging

---

I was just wondering, is there any developer who thinks this is possible.

Video Chatting on the G1. Kind of like Web Cam but for the G1. You call the person and connect to camera or something to that extent. Is that to out there or is it a possibility?

I think the biggest problem is no from camera. It would be retareded to have to flip the phone to aim the camera then turn over to see the responce. Instead of looking cool we would look lis a bunch of donkeys in the street...


but depending on the time might not be a bad thing

LOL! I completely forgot all about the camera angles.

what if we had an external webcam that plugged into the phone? neat idea .. but most definitely a battery hog .. don't forget this thing in your hand was built to make phone calls .. no need for video chat with the keyboard .. howabout video phone call?

That would be nice, i keep forgetting that this device is just a phone! We can't even send or record videos yet, Video Recorder in the market isn't tru video recording its almost there though

I disagree, this is not just a phone. The RAZR was just a phone. The corded rotary dial phone your grandma uses... that's just a phone. This is a tool, and should be expanded upon in anyway we can. Technology is beautiful and ever changing. Never stop thinking of new ways to do things.

does G1 even support video messaging? like MMS? I dont think so..

well i never did say JUST a phone .. said it was built to make phone calls .. i love trying new things with technology .. but when i can hop onto my cell phone and fly across town .. well .. that might be a little much .. HoverPhone
