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

James Body said:
Lovely lovely E71!

James Body said:
Qik - in near real time
picture
James Body said:
Ah - here we go - poor mobile bandwidth in the colonies story again.....
picture
James Body said:
Pink - of course - the ability to fine tune the colour balance is absolutely mission critical
picture
James Body said:
So - you would probably love Truphone to add SIP-based video calling to our client functionality then....??
picture
Jim Courtney said:
Is there going to be a special "pink" filter for James?
picture
James Body said:
In order to be successful(to become the default comms hub) the product *MUST* work in all scenarios
picture
@ James Why? You are always so dapper!
picture
My kids are like that
picture
James Body said:
Well - I AM always concerned about MY looks on camera
picture
James Body said:
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)
picture
that's funny!
picture
I think most people have no issue after a couple of uses
picture
James Body said:
The fundamental problem with the current range of video handsets is that they are not shipped as configurable for SIP video
picture
I'll get to the mobility questions in a minute.
picture
Jim Courtney said:
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:
Is Skype's proprietary protocols a significant advantage for them in the real world of corp networks, hotspots etc?
picture
Agreed James
picture
James Body said:
N800 with GoogleTalk based video is a great concept - let down somewhat by the low resolution of the camera on the N800/N810
picture
absolutely
picture
So have Alec and I.
picture
We used our n800's to have video conversations... though not for business
picture
James Body said:
Nokia E17 (with it;s two cameras) works well
picture
James Body said:
Why yes Bill!
picture
William Volk said:
Are people video conferencing on Nokia's advanced handsets
picture
James Body said:
And Skype are proprietary
picture
James Body said:
SIP based - that will be where the problem lies.....
picture
the only thing...no high density that way
picture
I love having mine
picture
James Body said:
It is amazing what a huge difference having embedded cameras in notebooks has made to the useability of video conferencing
picture
William Volk said:
Amazingly, the dot-com crash killed the market for this in the early part of this decade

William Volk said:
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.

James Body said:
And in use with the deaf community
picture

James Body said:
There is a lot of legacy stuff out there in enterprise
picture
James Body said:
Would you like to say something about interworking between IP based video means and legacy (ISDN based) systems?
picture
Good morning Andy. Nice evening? :)
picture

picture
VLIP was before SEESMIC

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