About 15 years ago, ATT had a commercial where they talked about exciting future consumer technologies; things like movies on demand, digital video recording, and my favorite, video phone calls, Star Trek style. The premise of the commercial was that ATT was going to bring you this exciting future, so you should give the company lots of money now. As it turns out, the commercial was wrong, but the ideas were correct; we have on demand, we have DVR, and - thanks to instant messaging, VoIP, and webcams, we have video phone calls. This concept is something Microsoft understands very well - they've integrated a group of programs around a few different webcams, including the subject of today's review, the VX-7000 USB webcam. Today we'll be seeing whether or not this video package makes the video phone dream an easy-to-use reality.
