mebeam anybody?

There is a new website out there called mebeam that lets you video call with up to 16 people for free...without downloading any software (assuming you have flash). This is pretty amazing and easy to use. All you do is type the name of the room that you want to have and then accept the video and voila, instant video chatting. This is pretty impressive considering skype only allows for video conferencing with one other person at a time.

3G iPhone amazing, but not quite there.

So Apple recently announced the 3G iPhone today at the WWDC conference. While I am impressed by the improved speed of internet browsing, GPS mapping and price cuts, I am bummed that they did not include a camera on the face for teleconferencing. I honestly think that the first company to do this will dominate. More people are beginning to use skype and other video conferencing software applications and it seems only natural that this is the next step.

I have a feeling that even though we aren't seeing a camera in this version, we will see it in the next version or one down the road...it is inevitable. Look how the iPod has evolved from an old school digital screen to a high resolution color screen with more memory in it than the first spaceship.
