Video conferencing will be a hit, and it's nice to see high-def, but you only see where the Umi camera looks. That may limit the market value of proprietary systems like Umi when compared to video conferencing on portable devices like iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Each system has advantages & tradeoffs, but they don't talk to each other.
Read "Video Conferencing for Home Healthcare" (search on Google). The article compares the various systems and has video links to many of them.
I pay $43 a month for my internet service. I download Yahoo Messenger, with Video and voice chat, ... with full FPS. hook up a HDMI or S-Video cord from my laptop to my TV, right click on my desktop, choose output to : TV, and in a matter of seconds, I see my desktop on the TV, "with the messenger Video Chat" and beats the $599 that you'd pay for this crap. even if I had the $600, "I Will NOT" buy this crap.
They can also watch what you're doing without you knowing it and without a warrant! Remember they make DVR's that remove content that you shouldn't see. aka Jesse Ventura's Documentary.
Pretty useless... $500 plus $25/month?! You can do the same with Logitech Revue without the monthly cost. I wouldn't want to be disturbed all the time when watching TV anyway.
I use skype and logitech service and both are not very predictable. Quality calls can be very poor at times. At the end it really depend on what you want. You can certainly make it work with most of the free services.
$599 for the device, plus $25 a month for the service (????). I can use any number of video chat programs on my computer/webcam for FREE, or get one of the GoogleTV devices with a TV cam option and make the calls for a fraction of the cost of this. Your device is "neat" for sure, but if you were wanting to milk us for it, you're about 5 years (and a major recession) too late, folks.
Yall say that but this is pretty awesome. If you go to there main buildings you will the corporate versions of these and it is amazing it is so much more realistic and they have it set up to look like the people are sitting across the table from you. All of you guys just need to learn that this stuff is the future now it isn't a big step but it is a step and we need to be happy about that.
