Hi,
just wondering if there is any messenger sw for the universal, making use of the camera as a webcam....for both MSN & yahoo?
i've only been using Agile messenger so far, and i havent really bothered looking around for other messenger sw....
I guess a messenger with webcam functionality for the universal would be really slick!
S
Now there's a great ideia!!!!
wouldnt this be quite doable since windows mobile 5 has a standard api (i think) for the camera?

its very much doable! Just waiting for the people out there to "do it"
Wonder if AgileMobile would really do it or not....its freeware, and most freeware dont have frequent "free" updates
Thats the reason i asked if there is any other commercial messenger app...we could contact the developers and ask them to add the feature in....

Is it just my Exec then or are you all ... really .. glossing over the fact that Agile messenger was designed for far lower res displays and looks chunky, distorted and UGLY on the Exec? Not to mention being unreadably blurry and pixellated text when you have anti aliasing on?
Or the fact that you cant use it in full screen with the keypad?
Uhm these are show stoppers for me tbh.
Sorry.

The header is the question really in total. Snazzy wee webcam .. MSN Messenger.. the two go great on yer desktop. But on your PDA?. I think we should be told. Looking at a quick past glimpse of posts past .. its a non runner.. but what a wasted opportunity! If you think you know how it can be done .. write in .. NOW!.

Oh and a whinge. ClearVue doesnt want to display my PDF file (jrcalc_guidelines_v3_2004.pdf) but Adobe Reader will .. however as on my Nokia 9500 the pages dont reflow so reading means scrolling all over the shop .. what a palaver! But on the laptop . no probs.. cheers!
Thats it .. now you can go!.
Errrm....not sure if you are asking a question or ranting about MSN.
Wouldn't life be grand if things were as simple as MSN utilizing the same functionality as the Dialer App (i.e. video). Have you SEEN the MSN client? It's about as full of features as MSN version 1.99999.
As to your second comment--many of us here are in agreement that ClearVue screws things up, but Adobe does a better job. There are pros and cons of using both.

Since almost nobody uses video calling, the 2nd camera is currently a bit of a waste. MSN messenger usage would be killer.
I'm asking myself the same question as well as wether you can use this device like a normal webcam (for your pc). I have found some references on http://www.mobile-review.com claiming that you can use a Universal as a webcam for msn but it doesn't say how!
However I did find this: http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/index.html#webcam
which claims to be software that can upload pictures (e.g. every 10 seconds ) from the Universal to a webpage...interesting...anyone tried this?
Also anyone know how to stream video to a webpage from a universal??
Like http://www.comvu.com/ ?
Hi all I know im new and 1st thing everyone will say is search I did couldnt find anything but the Agile Messenger WM5.0. Isnt there a hack of some sort to have the AIM on the 8525 just as it is on my home computer w/o having to pay any subscribtion like Agile Messenger WM5.0. any help would be greatly appricated thanks
There is an AIM hack for WM5 that moves the toolbar to the bottom... it's somewhere on here. However I still don't like the functionality of it. I prefer IM+ - it's much less buggy than Agile Messenger, but it is pay software as well. Personally, since I have to live with this phone for a year+, I'm willing to pay for good software.

Dear all,
I have been wondering if there is an application with messenger, which would have hermes frontcam as a webcam. After a long search I did not manage to find any apps like this. (with this i mean an app, which is running on the WM, NOT on PC).
However I came across one opinion about the thing that it could NOT be possible, since the heavy need of processing of the cam. I started thinking is that right, how much processing speed does it need to run a webcam with like only few pictures per second and a basic chat app running on msn messenger standard.
In my unprofessional opinion that should be possible, and if it is, why isnt anyone else interested in this kind of a thing, and why its not available.
Please somebody, do that kind of an application so I wouldnt have to learn WM PPC programming just because to do that.
or alternatively, prove me wrong.

It is defenately possible. I use Web Camera plus and you phone will act as a perfect webcam. You can even choose if you want the front cam or normal cam.

Thanks for the cool info!
Unfortunately that is working as a webcam for a messenger running on a PC only.. Not for messenger application running on my Hermes itself.
Is this impossible, is this going to be my Alamo?
/Henry
Ow, that i do not know. I'm not aware of an app that can do that, allthough i think it should be possible.
Maybe someone else can help you.
Im going to have to say that i doubt such a program exists or will exist.
MSN uses a lot of processing power to convert raw video into a streamed format.
Just because it is possible to do 3G video calls doesnt mean that MSN will use the same compression method.
What they'd first need to develop is voice calls through MSN. Not just voice clips.
hey, check out microsoft portrait, it has an app for both PC and PPC it is actually a development for voice/cam chat for portable devices, work on my wizard, however I don't have a hermes, so you will just need to try it and see, post back the results.

on my wizard it does have a drop down for the different cameras it detects, however the wizard only has one camera, so i believe it may bring up both cameras on the hermes

Cool stuff! Will try it out as soon as I get a internet connection.. Just now Im located in Netherlands (against my will ) without internet subscription and with horrible dutch 3g data transfer pricing.
Reporting back from Finland! The land of the thousands lakes and stuff..
---
sry for that.. just noticed that the file is actually under 1 meg.. so even I can afford that with stupid dutch pricing..
I tried to install it but i couldn't
I've got the last windows installer but the msi gives me a error message every time (i'm running a windows xp professional sp2)

I will try that out later tonight. Which version of WM are you running? 5 or 6? and which version of the phone you have? ..or maybe you ment that its not installing on your computer..
I mean that is not installing on my computer, if I transfer the file to my hermes, it doesn't work either.
Does it work for you ?
I'm on WM6 (Schaps version 3.54c)
When does new panels arrive?
I would love to have like a Youtube panel, facebook panel etc.
When I go to the panel store, there's only 8 panels in total.
I'm like what the hell?!
I thought there would be alot more.
There will be. People have to develope them though.
Hmm how about we make a request topic for panel ideas .. and maybe it will catch some coders attension and we could get the "top ideas" created ))))
Yes, thats a good idea! Please do that, then we can hope of really good panels greez, cad^^
To me the question is: why panels instead of regular apps?
Remember it is impossible to use two panels at the same time, like listen to music and browse facebook (for instance).

But surely it is possible to listen to music whilst browsing other panels. Or am I mistaken? .. (I m still waiting for my xperia)

Of course you can, but then you have to use WM mediaplayer ot install another one.
I can't surf in to panels from my phone. Some error..
SPB mobile shell panel can be downloaded here -http://www.sonyericsson.com/downloads/fd/99/SpbMobileShell_EN_Panel_X1.cab
I know it comes on some devices but it wasnt on my Uk model
I've noticed now more and more apps are being made for the iPhone exclusively. Google Earth for the iPhone was recently released and apparently has more features then that of it's PC counterpart. Here in Australia, my bank has just released a Mobile Banking application just for the iPhone.
My question is, do you think the Xperia will get that sort of love with it's Panel Application? Or even WM6 in general? I see alot of apps out for WM, but nothing as exclusive or as 'shiny' as those being written for the iPhone.
Hi Guys
A couple of months ago, I saw microsofts new facebook app and downloaded it to my touch diamond. Very soon, however, I realized that it kinda sucks, because everything is so slow and ugly. And u cant click on several pictures and it partly just doesnt work. So I searched for another facebook app, but I just didn´t find anything better.
If I could write programs on my own, then I would really make a new facebook app, but since I can´t, I´m just asking u guys if there isn´t a way to make a really cool facebook app, I mean like better than the one from microsoft. Maybe you can use the microsoft one as a base/ start and just make it better or something, but it would be really cool to have a good working facebook app on windows mobile.
you can use your browser and to to iphone.facebook.com its better and easier to use than the mobile facebook, other than that i think currently the microsoft one is the best (which personally i havent really found any issues with it, you may just need a faster connection eg. WiFi)
thanks man....iphone.facebook.com is awesome.
i use this program.. no need to open internet browser.. no need to install cab.. very small app but useful and powerful.. much better than microsoft's official fb app.. the only disadvantage, it doesnt support touch flo.. need to use D-pad
file attached
well....i think every facebook app for wm has some special features...but none is including all these cool things...like the chat or notifications and the possbility to look at pictures...etc. at the same time..it would be cool to kinda add them together...
btw..i realized an issue on iphone.facebook.com.: i wasn´t able to look at pictures with my diamond
