Excellent link. I will give it a shot.
If someone already tested it, please post your results.

Now if there was only a way to have the input present as a standard webcam interface (much in the way SplitCam does it). Then you'd have a wireless camera you could use with MSN, Skype and other such vido calling applications.

good link. Thanks.

cheers thanks for the link

i meant for video calling mobile phones

The camera's on the back, the screen is on the front. Either you could see the other person and they'd get a picture of your feet or they'd see your ugly mug and you couldn't see them. What would be the point?

This will allow you to make calls mobile to mobile, however it would have to be over GPRS or WiFi. However as supershisa points out you wouldn't want to. I suspect your asking if the Wizard can do 3G, which it cannot.

You could make every call in front of a mirror....

its experimental. and its cool.
besides its not microsofts fault. its the phones fault for the position of the camera. the software is not only for the wizard. its for all pocket pc's with a camera.

MS recite

Ms recite works pretty well, and is a "free" tech preview.

Simply but quite interesting. Sure will try if I have time later.

it's really cool.
too bad it's stil in development. It's hasn't touch screen support, and it's a bit buggy..
But you can record text, and it's search able!
Altough it sound cool, it can't handle long messages. It works only 100%
if you record not more than 3 words, after that, how longer how worser the result..

no touchscreen? thanks for telling, almost download it, lol^^

Web Cam Video Chat in HD2

How is it possible to video chat using HD2, since there is not front side camera and how can we see other end's video?

its not possible

I thought you could use the main camera as the video camera, at least when a new dialler comes out anyway?

Yea, this is the most disipointing act from HTC. Its like removing the ability to sms

I think there's a MASSIVE difference between sending SMS and video calling. The majority of people on this forum, before the HD2 came out, had agreed that it was a bit strange, but they could live without it. The majority of people also admitted that they'd only ever used video calling once or twice, and that was just to play with it.
I think you may have exaggerated slightly!
Oh.. and wait for the obvious childish post of "They did remove the ability to sms"

If you are running android you can download Tango and video chat using main camera. you just need a mirror.

How would you see the other person if the screen was facing away from you?

you'd have to carry a compact mirror...
like a woman...

the benifit of videocalling is not to see your face only ,you may need to show some one a thing when shopping or doing any thing before doing it ,video conference is only one benfit of it

dual post .................

There is very little point in video call without seeing the other persons face.
I understand where your coming from with needing to show someone something.
But I've never ever needed to show someone something that badly..
It would be nice, but we'd never use it.

I agree, plus, if the other person can video call (Which is also expensive), they likely have a phone that will accept a picture message or a video message that our HD2's can send (And with good quality results too, better quality that front facing cameras too).
Without a front facing camera I can't see the point either.

Basically there is so little demand that unless HTC were getting hammered with requests I doubt they'd do something about it.

can we do it by our selves (take drivers and activate it) ,and does any one tried activating it

The SE W950 which didnt have camera at all had video call.
the person that cald you coud see your picture, an you could see his/her video stream.
is it pointles, I dont think soo

to show someone something i can put the call on hold, take a picture -> send it via mail/mms, and then carry on talking. hence, no need for video calling

ON MY REGION IT IS VERY CHEAP TO MAKE VIDEOCALL THAN SENDING MMS videocall is as expensive as normal call on my country ,so better for me to havevideo call

I wasnot shouting i , forgot to close the cabs lock

Here is how to do it:
- install "HTC Dialer disabler (MS Dialer enabler).cab"
- soft reset
- install "Rhodium dialer.cab"
- soft reset
Now you should have the video call option in your dialer.

Here in Macedonia we have cheap video calls and indeed it's cheaper than sending mms. As I work in one of the mobile operators I get unlimited video calls for free. So I really miss it

2.1 Experience on Xperia X10

Hello Xperia patient fans,
I installed Android 2.1 yesterday (don't ask me how, I have good connections) here are the proofs:
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxIIdFZ69YU
and here are my first impressions.
- First of all the system is faster (only after few hours of use it really became faster).
- The interface is really nice, a lot of improvements in all details.
- Address book is integrated with Facebook contacts in a very nice wy, you get all updates directly in your phone book
- The camera records in HD at 720p. Here are the proofs (choose 720p): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXztObF4hs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M01GXXzSSQw
- There is no Multitouch
- Live wallpapers are included
- No pintch and zoom
- Moxier mail is still there
- Battery seems to last longer (I'll confirm after longer usage)
- Phone dialer application is improved
I'll see more and come back. If you want me to test specific features leave a comment here or on my blog: http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html
Mugur

- There is no Multitouch
- No pintch and zoom
- Moxier mail is still there

3D Gallery is the default Eclair gallery, that has been replaced by Mediascape.
It is still there though in the /system/app, I saw it in the system dump you provided us.
If you choose to place the Picture Frame widget on your screen, it opens the 3D gallery to choose a picture from.
And for the love of God, you have -theoretically- lost your warranty since you installed a pre-release of the firmware, so please try the one-click app to root!
Please please please...
