I refuse to enter the Jetsons/Star Trek world of screening my face. I am an old fashioned voice man (but if I could get away with it, I’d be just SMS!).

Maybe hold up a mirror and let the eee take its own picture.

Actually, with respect to the quality of the video and audio, I have to say I am pretty impressed for a $399 laptop. Some tweaking may be necessary (especially on the audio). But not bad at all IMO.

Scott, if you bought a OQO 2 *AND* a P1610, you threw fiscal discipline straight out the window!! :-)

You don’t any more an excuse to buy it than you did to buy the other two. You’re a gadget junkie, accept it! LOL!
