comvu - very cool...

wow. where to start (i s'pose by thanking james for the heads up on this) ...

go to comvu (link below), register and download the app for your nokia series 60 device. set up on both the device and online is quick and easy.

so what's it do? well, you launch the app on the phone and, using your integrated camera, basically start webcasting video. that's pretty much it. slick. the quality of the webcast video is not gonna do your camera justice, but that's a matter of bandwidth limitations as much as anything. but still way cool and full of promise. following is a link to an archive (comvu archives your webcasts) of a test webcast from my doorstep, concluding with a quick shot of the actual video playing back realtime on my laptop - quick test

(note: comvu is meant to allow direct linking to blogs, but i couldn't seem to get that to work. not sure if it's their issue or somehow related to which version of blogger - old or post-beta - they are linking to).

i'm gonna have to play with this some more. definitely yet another cool way to share experiences. and, imagine the potential in terms of journalism, medicine, security, etc...

and, lest i forget, go hoyas! (nice win today over 'nova)
