Microsoft's videophones
Om Malik went to the VON conference in Santa Clara and spotted a bunch of videophones at the Microsoft booth:
I loved the phones which worked with the ease of regular phones. While clearly VoIP based, Windows
CE powered devices, most of them paid attention to the real world needs and incorporated an
analog PSTN port. While most of them are not WiFi enabled and need a wired ethernet
connection, I suspect it is only a matter of time before they become Wi-Fi enabled.
We're guessing that these will probably be aimed at businesses rather than consumers, but you never know.
