Cingular Makes First Wireless Video Share Call

ATLANTA, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- As thousands of people stroll through the aisles of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week, those stopping by the AT&T booth (9817) will get a glimpse of what to expect from their wireless company in the near future - that is, if their wireless company is Cingular! (Media and analysts attending the Digital Experience event at Caesar's Palace on Sunday, January 7 between 7:00 -10:00 p.m. PST can get a sneak preview).
Cingular will be the first wireless carrier in the United States to demonstrate a service that allows wireless phone users to easily make a "live" video share call. The service allows users to send a live video stream to a recipient during a standard voice call. Beginning with a normal phone call, customers can hit one button to add a live video stream, allowing the called party to see what the caller is seeing while they're talking. The service also allows customers to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call.
"In the case of this technology demonstration, seeing is believing," said Kris Rinne, senior vice president of architecture and planning for AT&T. "Consumers can get a real feel for what 3G wireless can do and what to expect in the future."
