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."
Um..yeah, I can't make it in today. I've got such a cold I can't even come to the screen. Honest.
"Can you see me now?.... Can you see me now?..."
Trolling is a art,
"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."
Well, I guess I'm done conducting phone interviews naked.

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.
... hi bingo
Or old fashioned automobiles!
Where's my flying car? I was PROMISED a flying car with my videophone!

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." I personally haven't gotten a phone hooked up at my apartment after I moved out of the dorms. I typically use IRC, or ICQ for communication, but for the calling home to ask for mone, I set up one of the Creative labs phone blasters at my apartment and home. I've been using it since after Christmas break, and it works like a dream. Even my mom doesn't have a problem calling me. (I'm just lucky I can get a static ip from my ISP)

This is part of a wave of all consumer devices to make it more palatable for the average consumer at the expense of sealing it away from people like us.
Remember, once upon a time you could adjust the timing of the distributer of your car.
Implementing DRM is easy with sealed boxes like this.
It's Christmas everyday with BitTorrent.
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.

.. how many of you are going to hook yours up to your DVD player so you can pretend Natalie Portman is calling you?
What's that you say? I'm overreacting? "Get a grip?"
Ok, let's see how we like it when people aren't just holding these things to the side of their heads and blabbing, but holding it out front of themselves like a make-up compact and blathering away and/or showing everyone all the great video, too.
Sometimes the future isn't all it's cracked up to be.

A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
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.
