While we use Skype here at jkOTR corporate for our regular video conference calls, Gizmo Project remains a solid competitor worth a look. In fact, the latest beta of the Giz offers the same video call features of Skype, but at a lower resolution. Video will transmit at 352 x 288 res, which is CIF to you and me; I say that’s a strategic move on the resolution since I think there’s a fair number of phones that record video at that res. Might we see a beta client for handhelds to follow?
While it’s not high-quality VGA (640 x 480) like the latest Skype beta, it’s a start, so if you want to show your face (or your bathrobe) to Gizmo buds on a PC, you can hit up the beta build right here.
