AT&T’s Cingular is promoting Video Share at CTIA, which it will launch this summer. The service “lets a mobile phone caller send a live video stream from the camera on their cell phone to whomever they’re calling. The other user will have to be using a phone that supports the service and be in an area where it’s offered. The recipient can choose to accept the stream and later reverse it, sending video from their camera to the other caller. The video can also be saved”. Rather than “heartstrings” users, like those sharing a baby’s first steps, Cingular is also targeting business users for take-up, reports IDGNS. There has been some interest in professional services, such as nurses communicating with doctors, or usage by insurance claims adjusters, real estate agents and dispatchers.
