hard luck Creative, good news Type A consumers. The FCC just outed Creative’s unannounced, inPerson wireless video conferencing solution. Not only that, but they’ve loosed the user manual, external photos, and even splayed the device wide to reveal a VGA camera, built-in dual microphones, and TI DaVinci graphics chip. Here’s what they’ve got coming: 802.11b/g WiFi and Ethernet, 76-degree wide-angle lens with “excellent low light performance,” H.264 video with SIP support, rechargeable/removable Li-ion battery, remote control, headphone jack for privacy, and TV-out to view callers on a larger display. The battery can be charged in 5-hours for a 2-hour run when using the built-in, 7-inch, 16.7 million color LCD at 50% brightness. That lifespan increases to about

5 hours when sending the display to the TV. It’s plus fully integrated with SightSpeed accounts. As such, it features robotic SightSpeed history login, speed dials, shout history and contact list management as you’d expect. So is that the device / service mashup that will finally bring ubiquitous distribution of the committed video phone? No. Of course, even the first generation brown Zune can garner buyer hysteria when the price is right. So go ahead Creative, tell us, how much and when?
