Cingular to demo video calls at CES {Engadget Mobile}

Jan 6th 2007 12:11AM For all you wondering about video calling, I have some info. I can confirm Cingular's video calling is only ONE WAY, not two way like in Europe and Asia. So you stream a live video to the other person during a normal phone conversation so both parties can talk, but only one can recieve and one can send video.

It is likely this service is going to be call cME video sharing. Of course, this was before the at&t-Bellsouth merger, so there is a possibility it could have changed.

This is why phones with HSDPA don't have internal cams like the v3xx because Cingular is waiting for HSUPA to launch 2 way video calling because it provides faster upload rates so it can acheive better quality than HSDPA video calling.

Cingular just likes to assure good quality.
