My current phone has a camera on the front as well as the back, and all the software for video conferencing, but I've never tried it because: a) I've not idea how much it costs (compared to via the internet or VPN, which is 'free') and b) I can never remember who has a phone. I feel challenged to try it now! One thing I have learnt from Seesmic is that receiving a video message is much more pleasant than a voice mail! Good point.

I don't know anyone who uses it regularly, and only a couple of people who've ever even tried it for the novelty... It's clearly not been adopted as part of anyone's mobile office strategy. What would be interesting is for one of the mobile phone companies to do a proper phone/web integrated service, with live updating, message retreval online and video calling TO cell phones from webcams - that might make it more popular to us... Anyway, good post! :o) Slight tangent, Ben, but what I find fascinating is the almost total failure of video calls on mobile phones, despite the companies spending MILLIONS trying to sell it to us.
