For those of you using Macs out there who want to stay connected with other
Mac users, you might want take a look at Apple's new iChatAV (free beta
download on Apple's site). A friend and I tried this out recently on a
couple of laptops and while the audio quality varies, it *can* be phenomenal
with very little delay between send and receive.
Both of us were connected wirelessly, with my friend sitting in his backyard
and me at my studio, all without cables, external microphones or additional
hardware: we simply talked "at" our laptops and our voices were sent over
the network (a mic is hidden somewhere in the laptop case). I could
actually hear the birds in my friend's backyard.
(BTW, a hint for iChatAV -- pressing the mute button on the status panel
every so often restores the voice quality of your broadcast nicely.)
Looking forward to a connected future...
Did you see the min requirements to run that program? 600Mhz G3 or better. That really cuts out a huge market for Apple. I like the easy to use interface, but gosh that thing eats up serious CPU power.
Another alternative would be: Squid Cam from www.squidsoft.com
For $20.00 you can run multiple connections (something iChat AV can not do). Even connects with Win versions of the software. I think Apple needs to get those system reqs down a bit.
Just a few thoughts sense I was testing it out today myself.
