I am all for video phones.. but they keep screwing it up. First, that is the ugliest design of a phone ever. where in the heck am I going to stick that thing? that display is huge!
The thing is... these phones need to be no bigger then they are now (answering machiene phones), and they need to be dirt cheap. The chips to achieve low bitrate video are dirt cheap, and small 2.5 inch screens are dirt cheap. even way back when, when ati first sold theirs, they overpriced it big time and there was no way it could sell, even though it used the same small screens being sold in pocket TVs for years.
also VoIP is very new, you need to introduce these phones to ALL forms of telephone connections, other wise the user base of video phone users will be small and no one will care to waste the money. video phones need to be treated like normal phones, and currently they can work like that, you can produce adiquit video for 2.5 inch screens accross copper wires and celluler, having video displays the size of TVs, or for your tv, is just a waste.
