>> Now, I do see the value of TalkNPlay. Gameplayers have a need to coordinate strategies with teamates. <<
Ya know, and I may be blinded by my short position, I don't see much of a need even there. I have played a LOT of video games, and talking while playing them is a huge distraction. Sure, some people will want to, and maybe for things like online bridge you want everyone to sit around gossiping together, but more often than not I'd prefer NOT to talk and play.
BTW, I went to the local CompUSA store to find TalkNPlay. Searched (almost) the entire store, didn't see it. Finally broke down and asked someone; they'd never heard of it. But I did finally find it, in the Voice Recognition section! $29.95, and they had nine copies. From the way they were stacked, I thought it possible that one had already been sold! YaHoo!!! Sell another, and that person will have somebody to talk to!
I did see a slew of Internet telephony products, including video, that looked pretty neat...
