1src Forums - NX as VideoPhone???

It seems to me that the NX has the technology in place (video camera, large screen, fast chip) to serve as a VideoPhone, either via WiFi (if it is high enough bandwidth - anyone know: can the NX stream video to the web?) or via a future CF cellphone?

I hate to subscribe to conspiracy theory, but the whole CF driver thing has me thinking that Sony is suppressing technology, esp. software, and planning obselence in order to maximize profits. Is this obvious? Will Sony _let_ the Clie evolve into a VideoPhone?

I'm sure if there's a driver and software ever made for it, it is possible.
As you said,the hardwares are there.

Neat. Would that be the VoiS application?

Are you working on one specifically for the Clie?
