I am waiting for a good working mobile video solution (hopefully integrated with MSN or Skype Mobile). I saw in this Microsoft AD this functionality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2LmvHwNyPo
do you think video through windows live or msn will be aviable in the shorter term?
thanks!
maybe delayed because phone operators make a lot of money on video calls and if it's handled over the Internet they loose those money so they would likely advocate
skype mobile and msn live not introducing those features

With my laptop, I use a UMTS/HSDPA data card through Vodafone Germany to connect to the web. I just got done video chatting with my brother in Australia, it was awesome because I brought my laptop down to the street to show him my neighborhood. Aside from the crazy looks the native Berliners gave me, it was a seamless experience. SO, its obvious that the technology exists to do this with a UMTS/HSDPA cell phone, but what one? can anyone please help me, I really want to show him the rest of my city, but I'm not lugging my laptop on the S-Bahn!
Thanks!
ms portrait if it support the cam in the pda and he have the pc version on his pc should work i think
other option is normal 3g video call but thats pretty pricy
dont know of any other chat apps that support video in their pda flavours
msg and skype sure dont

Hi. i user this for a 3 month. http://mobile.vzochat.com. it.s pretty simple and works on my ipaq 514 from box
Sorry if I have missed a topic with the same question but is it possible to make video conference with skype and htc cruise?
How can we use the front camera for Video Conf through the net?
Thank you in advance.
In short, no.
I think only piece of software I have ever seen that's remotely near to providing what you want is Microsoft Portrait and that is a long way from being a viable videoconferencing app.
Front camera is a good place for collecting fluff and that's about it.
it should work for normal network video calls whoever use those
For local mobile networks the video conference is working (3G). But the fact is ... the cost of money for making video calls. By using wifi is cheaper and faster (i think). Do you have any idea for making video calls through internet (talking using the cruise or other 3g phone making v.c. to desktop/laptop pc).
THANKS
no no software i know of for pocketpc does it
there was a program called ms portrait but as i recall it dident work with
frontCams which kinda made video calls troublesome
AGAIN THANKS for your time.
hello
first, I use skype on my hermes 200 adsl connection via a USB or EDGE connection in both cases I had not heard the voice of my interloccuteurs (voice cuts) while they are listening
will become of the weakness of my connection or there a reason?
also, I install skype mobile beta lite (for symbian s60 v.2) on a Nokia N72 to communicate with my hermes 200 but I have not the icon of the call, and in the category of aid on I said that "the call will be possible after the upgrade skype when it will be available in your country"
could I have the icon of the call before skype lite mobile beta is available in my country knowing that they have not yet?
else, the audio chat it was possible between two windows mobile user?
Finally, set apart the MIDs (see here) http://www.intel.com/products/mid/devices.htm , are there other mobile devices capable of video chat skype? if not, they are the other software can do without 3G or wifi, personally I know 5: vochat, octro, tivi, imichat (under symbian), and microsoft portrait
and another that I could not operate: tabletmedia, of whether someone else could get it to tell me how?
Guys,
It does seem to me that Skype randomly dropped the ball; Fring does not support video chat anymore, and other video chat application do not support PC to Android functionality. The technology is HERE; however why are all of these video products limiting themselves in this way? Is creating a PC app that difficult? I just don't understand. It seems so obvious!!! It's the ONE SINGLE THING that we cannot get and are looking for.
Sales pitch they don't want you to know
Even though we all know that video chat will work with Wifi (that we pay for already) -- I really believe that these big corporations really want to release Video Chat at the same time LTE will be realeased with newer phones that, again, will already have front facing camera when some of us currently have already technology already. Skype is releasing Video chat to Verizon exclusively which will give an incentive for people to want to go to Verizon to use video chat. This technology already exist but they would like for us to use it at a price (buying a new phone and switching to Verizon if we didn't do so already). That is why Skype does not do video chat, when they can! Fring to Yahoo messenger does not want to use video chat, when they can! Fring to MSN messenger does not want to use video chat when they can! Fring PC to Phone does not exist and they want it to stay that way as well as Tango PC to Phone does not exist as well.
What we need is PC to PHONE VIDEO Chat -- how hard is that ?
Thats my 2 cents. Please let me know if you guys agree on this idea of trying to sell video chat for more money then just releasing it for free. I have tried to find PC to Android video chat functionality and I cannot. Please enlighten me if you guys have or know of this technology that works!
Thanks.
Curious if its possible to remap the video call option to automatically use tango, skype, or some other video calling service? I have NO CLUE what the native video call option is????? is it proprietary like iPhone Facetime? or carrier based? or what?
Since I'm on T-mobile in the USA - I'd like to remap that to use a compatible option . THANKS
Tango
Have you downloaded Tango for your Optimus yet? I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Please give better details.

I understand what he's trying to do. ie when he goes into his contacts and hits video call, instead of making a normal video call, he wants it to connect via skype instead.
in theory this would be possible, but then the reciever would also need skype...

That's exactly right... from contacts hitting the video call button the phone using an outside method of video chat... What is the default method anyways? is it some proprietary protocol like Apple's FaceTime? or is it carrier based or what?
Another great question would be, is there anything that would interface from the optimus to a facetime device? is there facetime for android? All my friends and family have iPhone's, and NO ONE has Optimus 3D or android's at all - hence the reason for wanting to use another video call client.
Hi Araltd,
My experience is only for Tango.
Currently you can Tango another Tango users from within your contact list.
Tango supports PC, Android 2.1 or higher, Windows Phones, iPhones (3GS and newer), iPod touch fourth-generation and iPads. That means you can Video Chat with other platforms.
You should give Tango a try. You’ll enjoy it!
Android Devices
- Download Tango from the Android Market here: http://bit.ly/lERnBS (choose to open in 'Market' when prompted)
Apple Devices
- Download Tango from the Apple App Store here: http://bit.ly/lpK8XN (iPhone, iPod, iPad)
I am in the same boat as you; all my friends are iOS users. I just can’t get away from Androids freedom!
