2010 could be the year for the video cell phone call. The Utah-based outfit On The Go Video plans to roll out what it calls the nation's first two-way video cell phone service this year with its Vphone mobile device.
The Android-based Vphone will not only support two way video calling, it will run zillions of Android apps, store gobs of digital content and have plenty multimedia chops besides mobile video chatting.

Still, it is remarkable how quickly On The Go Video has exploited Google's Android OS to develop an intriguing new product.
Not only is the Saygus Vphone V1 the first device to be offered under Verizon Wireless’ Open Development initiative, it’s the first smart phone to be released on a U.S. carrier to offer two-way video conferencing. It will let callers see each other while they talk, as well as allow them to show others what they see around them in real time. . . Click to continue
