D-Link DVC-1000 Videophone Review

Milton Linkle writes "One of the first H.323 compliant videophones, that doesn't require a PC, is slowly but surely making it's rounds. This review provides a very good overview of the product, and even includes a few video caps of the device in action. If this product, or others like it eventually take off, we may get to a point where we no longer have a need for traditional telephones."

  4. security features... by EnderWiggnz · · Score: 4, Funny

    look - the only way i'm going to buy any new electronic equiptment, particularly stuff that relies on the inherently insecure TCP protocol is if it implements some of the new TCP security features.

    Specifically, does anyone know if this supports RFC 3514 ?

    thanks in advance.

    This article is a lie. The videophone was never reviewed. Even now, Iraqi soldiers are crushing the bastard American invaders! Victory is within our grasp.

    packages complete with a small condom-like rubber cover to protect the lens during shipment

    I always figured that ejaculate on the lens would only be a problem AFTER shipment and receipt.

    Seriously, though, I see major problems with this device with the Slashdot community. What happens to your online relationship when your significant other wants to call you on the videophone? I see many broken hearts in the future.

    If the video phone rings while I'm in the shower, I'm not going to rush out and get it.
