[8X8]

<<<With all the shows you and others here have been to I would think you have had a chance to view the 8x8 ViaTV video conferencing product. If so, what were your impressions of it's performance and do you know of anyone who is curently using the device? I'm looking for first hand users to get some direct reaction. >>>

Ed --

I saw it demoed at Comdex and wasn't impressed at all. It needs bandwidth in the worst way. If you saw the Amati homepage during InterOp, you'll know how static the transmission is. Not until they get full motion video will it fly. IMHO.

Frankly I don't want video phones. Sheesh. . . can you imagine having to comb your hair before picking up the phone???? :)

Cheers!

Pat
