Telepocalypse

Fancy a picture of my ear?

Was reading this old Pulver article on the relative failure (to date) of video IM and videoconferencing to capture the public imagination. Some interesting comments below the article.

I like the "show and tell" concept of mobile telephony, mixing voice and video. With the sprouting of many phones with dual cameras, I can't help but think: why do none of them have the second camera along the front/left edge, so you can share what you see while you speak? Or am I missing something obvious?
