KT-Tech Challenges Nancy and MPEG-4 for Wireless Video
Robert Gallagher writes: "Last week, at http://www.kttech.com/comp.html, KT-Tech released a demo of their video codec running at 32 Kbps. According to the web page and discussion on comp.compression, this codec is 'symmetric,' meaning encoding is just as fast as decoding, and that both can be done in software and in real-time. While Nancy is getting good press for its light decoding cost, KT-Tech is apparently trying to get into the two-way wireless communication market. One question to ponder: Would we really want cameras on our cell-phones?"
Yeah, and imagine you with a bullet through your head when the crook sees and hears you using your cell phone during a bank robbery!
Man, get a clue. Videophones have been available since the 60's, no one wanted them then, and no one wants them now.
