Video call using the Asus Ai Guru SV1 and Skype

[scpeer]

UPDATE: We've been using this without problem. As Mom gets worse this is more and more a God-send; it auto answers and all she has to do is talk to me. Dad uses Skype on his workstation, and he even sees the benefir for Mom. I do notice that it runs warm for being in a stand-by mode for most of it's "life".

Just bought one $160USD for elderly parents. PERFECT Set it for auto-answer and my folks don't have to do anything to get calls. BTW: they are touchscreen now, and there's nothing you need for a keyboard after setting-up. This is more for the ludite than the geek, though geeks in the know appreciate the simplicity (most geeks have a parent who'd appreciate this).

@scpeer where did you get yours ? sounds a good price.

[scpeer]

@trabajador98 As cool as these are, they've never caught-on, so pricing seems to wane; keep a regular search on Amazon & Ebay and I'm sure you'll find one around $150. BTW: No matter the geek, they have a parent or grandparent who won't touch a computer, and THIS is for them. I introduced this to my folks as the "Dick Tracy" video phone they always wanted in their youth. I also set it up to auto-answer (approved persons only), so they (literally) have to do NOTHING to use it.

@myukvisa why doesnt he touch the screen for his choices??!?!?

[Joschmo939]

does not a key pad!. what a failure

[Receptical]

@Joschmo939 I think there is a new version that has a touch screen, its called "ASUS Videophone Touch AiGuru SV1T"

[giriphotography]

weird that it doesnt have touch screen

Where is it and when is it available in the Philippines, we have been waiting for it for a year, only the EEE Box of Asus has penetrated the Philippine Market, although ASUS EEE Top have recently been launched still EEE Top is also not available in retail stores and also the Asus AIGURU SV1, i hope ASUS Philippines could tackle this matter.

[lamierme]

I'm wondering the same thing. Is this available for the Philippines yet? Can I ship one to my family in the Philippines and will it work there?
