For those of you using Macs out there who want to stay connected with

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.
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.
Thanks for sharing this alternate option. How did this app perform in your
experience? Is the latency/audio as good or better than Apple's?
Works really well. It just does not have the simple UI that iChat has. I can play A title games while Squid is running in the background communicating with friends. You can try it for free. I think it runs for 5 minutes before closing the connection.
I have high hopes for iChat AV getting better though. It is a solution my parents will be able to use.
