aren’t most cameras on the back of the phone. Facing away from the screen? …such that if you are in a real time two way video conference on mobile phones — you are incapable of viewing and being viewed simultaneously without the aid of a a mirror.

From skimming through their website, there are several things that strike me as odd: - There's no indication about the video coding techniques used - There's no indication of the resolution used - They're doing 4 frames per second in "today's cellular networks" - virtually everyone can do that, but nobody will be using it, especially when you have 3G video with 15 frames per second on 3G phones in Europe and Asia today already I don't see the promise here and how they're going to accomplish it.

They do VGA quality video with 30 frames per second on mobile handsets, which is pretty spectacular! While you are there, also check out Droplet Tech.
