Has anybody able to use Microsoft Portrait with the internal cam of JASJAR. Is there any other video conferencing software which will work in GPRS speed
I have just written to Skype and Microsoft Portrait in regards to the HTC Universal's front-facing camera, and more importantly, the availability of the "common camera API" that is available on the Windows Mobile 5 SDK. Let's hope either one responds with some good news soon.
In the meantime, there's no other application out there that uses the camera except for ComVu's PocketCaster (www.comvu.com) and a couple shareware programs that utilize the Camera app to upload to an FTP server or something.

Thanks for the info, I can't wait to see it. This would be a nice gift to the US Uni users who can't make use of the built in video phone app.
i was ondering if there were any software that would allow 2exec' to estabilish a video chat session over wifi rather than paying for the 3G rates... also if there were a way to do the same with regular pc users too
thanks for any information
Not as yet even though the camera does have the facility to be integrated into applications, unfortunately no-one has yet!
Video calling is good though!
I sent an email to the MS Portrait team and they told me that this may be included in a future version if they can get the camera API.
I think it would be a killer app that will separate the Jasjar from all the others.

You are wrong. With PocketCaster www.comvu.com you can stream videos from both cameras via GPRS, UMTS, WiFi up to Comvu-Server.

Thanx, man! Bravo for the info!
That's amazing! I just downloaded and played a bit but I couldn't really play that much seeing as O2 only give me 1MB a month!! booooo
Dubrand,
Thanks for the info. However since I haven't yet seen this tool you are referring to, is this tool solely a video blog? In other words, from what you are saying, it cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (like in MSN Messenger on the PC) but only to save and upload a video clip on a server no?
Tks.
Thanks Dubrand! Looks like a fun little app/service. 8)
Thanks a lot!
It cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (YET). But i think this is a terrific proof of the concept that the build in camera can be used in (interactive) applications from third parties. An exciting promise for future use of the HTC Universal.
thanks for the info. i think this is a must have and when it is fully integrated into say msn messenger this will be my far the best device / gadget for years
3g video web conferencing
Any developers who fancy having a bash at developing such a website feel free to contact me. www.meetnow.co.uk...I have the ideas, web address (not live yet)...but lacking the technical know how..

Hi,
it's been a while that I use Hermes but I still couldn't find any video communication possibility other than 3G video.
What I am looking for is something which would work on wifi and/or gprs.
Best would be some sip client which supports video.
But I would also be very glad to have standart msn video connection.
is there any possibilities that I've missed ?
thanks for your replies...
I too am looking for the same. If I find any information I shell share with ya and others too =)
Works GOOD =)

I know this but it's not a direct solution.
it requires both parties to install MS portrait, (even the PC user)
not standart...
but thanks for reminding.
Hi,
i think it would be great if someone could come up with a way of checking which friends are online on your Playstation Network.
I think there is something simmilar for Xbox live where users can use their WM device to see whos online.
It would be great if this is possible and i know many people will be interested in this.
I have a very serious reguest to ask of all the good programmers and chefs on XDA site.
I am what you would call a power user of my Hermes aswell as my PC and am always looking for the best and easy to use apps for my PDA. One of the apps I would love to use more is my windows mobile office package but due to the lack of integraty between PC office and PDA office I refrain from using my PDA office. Examples is the lack of formulas in PDA office in compareson to PC office. I have searched the web for better office Apps but the cost a fortune, Example is SoftMakers Office... approx 66 Pounds.
Is there anyone who could help me and other Office users by programming a more transparent office for PDA?
And does anyone know if there are programs like GNU Octave that can be run on PPC since I am an engineering student and would love to have these tools in my pocket.
Any help in to this respect would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I would like to thank all the people whoe have allready made my PDA experience enjoyable, My favourate roms : CRC, TNT(although it has been discontinued, Josh Manila ect... Thank you all very much
Update on this post: For those users that are fimiliar with Matlab or any similar programming language, Try out the LME application for your PDA, It works beautifully.
