How about using a private webcam?

What is the refresh rate on the Get It Now webcam application? can you consider it video (>5fps)? or just static images that refresh every 10s? I noticed the website that the images are 160x120 (larger than most phone screens), but they never refreshed, much less streamed real video. Is that what you see on the phone? I set up a private webcam that I can view from my Sprint Vision phone (10s refresh rate). ALthough it's not video, its unbelieveable how useful it can be. I sincerely believe that the ability to access private webcams (nanny cams, pet cams, security cams, etc) on the go can be a killer app. This software package from logitech makes it easy to do and can really bring wireless data to the masses. Only problem i can see is that the pricing may be prohibitive for mass adoption, but its not that outrageous, since they provide a server.
