Video call over wifi

[Guest dil]

Hi all,

with MSN messnger if you have web cam you can talk to one another with video over the web, now as many peeps have 3g phones with the capability to make 3g video calls, is there a program out there that allows us to make video calls over WIFI as we can and have been able to do for ages with pc/laptops.

and if not why hasnt some bright spark thought of a way :)

cheers

Someone else posted about that earlier. The current situation is NO - but Microsoft Live Mobile keeps getting better and I am sure the MS Portrait project (videocalls over low bandwidth) will have given MS a clue how to it. Whether then networks will be happy is another matter!

Mind you with HSDPA running at 10mbs within a couple of years, and data prices falling as a) the networks incentivise us to use it and ;) it gets cheaper for networks for cost it internally (after writing off their wasted billions on 3g licences), I would have thought it will become common place to make video calls either over the networks 3g video service or over IM clients over the HSDPA network - and then of course it will all converge and you will be able to use IM on your pc to call HSDPA mobiles and vice versa!
