And the gnophone is a good solution if it strictly a Linux only environment. But it does absolutely nothing for a Windows environment, which is the type of environment that most people are asking about the video conference ability. Personally, I don't want to talk to people, hence I am not really big on video. Meetme rooms work for me, and I can be dressed accordinly (or not) and pick my nose and things of that nature. But people love their technology, and would rather look at someone on the screen at a whopping 3 frames per a second, as opposed to talking in the meetroom... Go figure! Kim C.
