But you have to download an executable and install a software. Not very "GMaily"...

Skip, that was very funny. :-)

Ragnar, there are certain things a web app can't do. Switching on your device camera for instance. Otherwise you'd probably see a lot more amateur pr0n ...

@vowe, yeah, a lot more by people that didn't even know they were making it ;)

We tested movi by Tandberg - and this is web based. Just typed moviserv in the address-field pressed enter and the system was available. The camera and microphone was activated and I immediately could call other people (after a very short self registration). Very nice system...

The Flash Plugin can access camera and microphone.
