But then the person on the other end of the communication string would
know what you really looked like!  You couldn't pretend to be the
person you aren't!  I don't see 3G killing off internet romance!

Besides, at the end of the day you could only kiss goodnight a cold
video screen.  Is that really any better than kissing a cold audio
handset?

Exactly.  People might prefer to download a whole videobyte on 'wap'
before playing it.  That way what the sender was saying wouldn't get
interrupted.  Sure you would have to wait five minutes form
transmission to when you played it back.  But so what?   Wouldn't that
be a cheaper way of doing personal video chat which was effectively as
good and didn't cost as much?   Just like newsgroups that you can
download and study before responding are better than live chat, and
cheaper?

They've had that for years.  It's called a voice-phone ;-).  The
person on the other end of the phone describes where they are and you
imagine the picture as they describe it in your head. SNOOPY
