Cingular To Demo Video Call Sharing Service

Cingular plans to unveil a new service at CES which will allow callers to send live video streams to other Cingular customers. If two people have 3G phones and are within the Cingular 3G area the caller can press a button, to activate the live video stream and allow the other person to see what is going on around the caller…the direction of the stream can be switched. This isn’t a great leap, considering that video calls have been around for years now. The big difference is that the call doesn’t need to start out as a video call. The service will be launched commercially later this year. Some more details in the release here.
