Who wants to see the person you are calling? That is why phones are so popular,you have privacy.

Great idea. I would love to be able to see my daughter who is away at college!!

The idea didn't come from Star Trek, Dick Tracy had a two-way wrist television, capable of the same thing in the early 50's years before Star Trek.

Who cares? Honestly, video phones are nothing new. New, perhaps to wireless phones. But not to phones.

Some people may have the perception that the technology is new. but that is only because video phones have never been popular enough to even successfully enter the market of telecommunications. And not for a lack of attempts. It has been tried a dozen times. But no one cares enough.

Even video teleconferencing has never taken hold like predicted. The "experts" forecast that business travel would be greatly reduced. Instead video teleconferencing would allow us to sit at home and meet with others across the globe. Many companies spent small fortunes outfitting conference rooms with the technology.

But it just didn't work. Sitting in a conference room staring at distant coworkers through a monitor does not have any real value. Either a phone call would suffice, or travel is necessary. Except for a few diehards out there, video teleconferencing has become a dinosaur.

And so will the next attempt at video phones.

seems to me that this technology is really not new news. Can't see this taking off, I perfer my iphone, even without video conferencing, I agree with BH. I feel bad for anyone who wasted their hard earned money and time bringing this "product" to market.

Sounds like Mr. Sayers needs to focus on what is relevent today, not what some HOPED to see in the 60's as a 10 year old treckie....

Is it just me, or does this phone look like something cica 2003? IE: slider with keypad. Seems like this local company is banking on video conferencing to get the public excited. The phones that are getting the most attention are the touch phones.

Maybe we'll see the Saygus V Phone on the halftime show for the superbowl, and they will have a chance to make their mark in the marketplace. Here's another question I have: What ever happened with the Saygus I, II, III, and IV Phones? I've never heard of them........

I hope this local company does well either way, heaven knows we needs some locals companys to do well, to create local jobs.....
