'Three' tried really hard with video 4-5 years ago - and faled dismally

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:47 AM (GMT -05:00)

Lovely lovely E71!

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:46 AM (GMT -05:00)

Qik - in near real time

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:46 AM (GMT -05:00)

Ah - here we go - poor mobile bandwidth in the colonies story again.....

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:45 AM (GMT -05:00)

Pink - of course - the ability to fine tune the colour balance is absolutely mission critical

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:44 AM (GMT -05:00)

So - you would probably love Truphone to add SIP-based video calling to our client functionality then....??

Jim Courtney said:

Aug 19, 11:44 AM (GMT -05:00)

Is there going to be a special "pink" filter for James?

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:42 AM (GMT -05:00)

In order to be successful(to become the default comms hub) the product *MUST* work in all scenarios

Andy Abramson said:

Aug 19, 11:41 AM (GMT -05:00)

@ James Why? You are always so dapper!

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:40 AM (GMT -05:00)

My kids are like that

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:39 AM (GMT -05:00)

Well - I AM always concerned about MY looks on camera

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:38 AM (GMT -05:00)

Whilst t is possible to use handsets (like the Nokia N-series beauties) for SIP-based video calls, making them perform appropriately is not easy - well beyond the capabilities of normal mobile users (NorMobs)

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:36 AM (GMT -05:00)

that's funny!

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:35 AM (GMT -05:00)

I think most people have no issue after a couple of uses

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:35 AM (GMT -05:00)

The fundamental problem with the current range of video handsets is that they are not shipped as configurable for SIP video

Alec Saunders said:

Aug 19, 11:34 AM (GMT -05:00)

I'll get to the mobility questions in a minute.

Jim Courtney said:

Aug 19, 11:34 AM (GMT -05:00)

Are there any plans for the wireless mobile market. Rogers offers video calling on limited handsets. Biggest problem is finding someone else to call. Can you see doing video across PC's and mobile devices?

William Volk said:

Aug 19, 11:33 AM (GMT -05:00)

Is Skype's proprietary protocols a significant advantage for them in the real world of corp networks, hotspots etc?

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:31 AM (GMT -05:00)

Agreed James

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:30 AM (GMT -05:00)

N800 with GoogleTalk based video is a great concept - let down somewhat by the low resolution of the camera on the N800/N810

Alec Saunders said:

Aug 19, 11:30 AM (GMT -05:00)

absolutely

Andy Abramson said:

Aug 19, 11:30 AM (GMT -05:00)

So have Alec and I.

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:29 AM (GMT -05:00)

We used our n800's to have video conversations... though not for business

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:29 AM (GMT -05:00)

Nokia E17 (with it;s two cameras) works well

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:29 AM (GMT -05:00)

Why yes Bill!

William Volk said:

Aug 19, 11:28 AM (GMT -05:00)

Are people video conferencing on Nokia's advanced handsets

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:28 AM (GMT -05:00)

And Skype are proprietary

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:28 AM (GMT -05:00)

SIP based - that will be where the problem lies.....

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:27 AM (GMT -05:00)

the only thing...no high density that way

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:27 AM (GMT -05:00)

I love having mine

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:27 AM (GMT -05:00)

It is amazing what a huge difference having embedded cameras in notebooks has made to the useability of video conferencing

William Volk said:

Aug 19, 11:26 AM (GMT -05:00)

Amazingly, the dot-com crash killed the market for this in the early part of this decade

William Volk said:

Aug 19, 11:25 AM (GMT -05:00)

FYI: The founder of MyNuMo, Sherri Cuono, ran the company that did the video-town-hall conferences for Swartzenagger when he first ran for gov.

Andy Abramson said:

Aug 19, 11:25 AM (GMT -05:00)

SightSpeed has worked with the Deaf since before 2005

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:24 AM (GMT -05:00)

And in use with the deaf community

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:24 AM (GMT -05:00)

nope can't

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:24 AM (GMT -05:00)

There is a lot of legacy stuff out there in enterprise

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:24 AM (GMT -05:00)

Would you like to say something about interworking between IP based video means and legacy (ISDN based) systems?

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:23 AM (GMT -05:00)

Good morning Andy. Nice evening? :)

Andy Abramson said:

Aug 19, 11:22 AM (GMT -05:00)

Andy Abramson said:

Aug 19, 11:22 AM (GMT -05:00)

Alec Saunders said:

Aug 19, 11:22 AM (GMT -05:00)

Andy Abramson said:

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:22 AM (GMT -05:00)

Just need to get a video link into Bill's car....

Sheryl Breuker said:

Aug 19, 11:21 AM (GMT -05:00)

Sure James. But if you have a problem with SS and firewall...and haven't ADDED me on Skype...we're unlikely. :)

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:21 AM (GMT -05:00)

and calling Jim from the train.....

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:20 AM (GMT -05:00)

And I keep on video calling Jeb (from various venues in London)

James Body said:

Aug 19, 11:19 AM (GMT -05:00)
