Peek-a-boo I see you


I remember about 20 years ago reading about the future of the video telephone. It was really cool. It seemed to take forever to become a reality and finally it just seemed to fade from reality. Over the course of those years, we had computers and digital cameras and cell phones takeover the world.

It seems the time has come for video to video cellphones. ATT wireless (formerly Cingular) has made it a reality. This is exciting. When I discovered this news I went to the website and read all about. Of course, everyone that uses this pay for use service must be an ATT subscriber AND they must have the phones that can use this new service...a very limited list. In addition, it is only available in limited areas- but soon to expand coverage areas.


None of the folks I know use ATTwireless as their carriers, nor do any of them have the video camera capability! If I was an ultra techie, I would run to the nearest store and purchase the phone- which is exactly what ATT had in mind.
