Okay, who will get there first, Apple or Source-Forge? Rumors site have pegged Apple as releasing an update for iChat with video and audio support in the very "near" future. (Yeah you will most likely need that broadband for video conferencing, but telephoning over the internet may be realistically achievable even on a dial-up connection, we shall have to wait and see, as well as see what AT&T, MCI, etc plan to do about it).
In the mean time, the competition for Apple is coming from the open source Unix/Linux gang: http://xmeeting.sourceforge.net/ Project Description The goal of the project is to develop a set of Internet video conferencing and telephony applications in native Mac OS X GUI (as in Cocoa or Carbon, not X11). Currently, H.323 is the only supported protocol, support of SIP may be added in a later date. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
