Video Calling
by student student - Friday, 20 June 2008, 03:19 PM
  Video phone calling was first trialled a few years back over standard phone lines, but these lacked the bandwidth to support stable video calls. Now that more and more homes have moved over to higher-bandwidth broadband services, video calling is now possible in higher quality, and users of services such as MSN Messenger have been able to use webcams to do two-way video for a couple of years now.

In an attempt to make video calling easier and more accessible, BT has brought out a couple of videophones, to encourage less computer-savvy people to make use of video-over-Internet. To use these devices, you need to sign up to the free BT Broadband Talk service (free with BT Total Broadband). With BT Broadband Talk, video calls via your broadband connection can be made between two BT Videophones, a BT Videophone and a Softphone (on a PC with a webcam), or two Softphones used with webcams.

iPhone, fancy mobiles is it worth it?

Yes its a sexy little number but does it walk the walk or talk the talk. Has it gone beyond being just a mobile phone. Companies today pack their mobile devices with so many applications or novelty bits'n'bobs to blind us into buying their product! With all this cool stuff did anyone stop to check their electric bill because these devices dont last more than a day! This is just my opinion, these devices are cool, but the infrastructure is'nt there for these products to work to their full potential. Why dont these companies start with that first? What do you reckon??
