Sony's video phone

Despite being just over the horizon for something like forty years, it's about time to concede that making video phone calls over regular telephone lines is never, ever going to catch on. The bandwidth just isn't there (though we're agnostic on the separate issue of whether or not people actually want to make calls where the other person can see how dishevled they are). Anyway, Sony has a new video phone system called the PCS-11 which makes video calls over the Internet and can automatically adjust the amount of bandwidth needed depending on network congestion.
