Consumer Electronics FAQ
Why don't telephone enjoy cameras close to webcams do?
and do you think they would ever trade name it to where we can touch whoever we're discussion to...like some type of strong radio billowAnswers:
The first time I ever saw a camera phone, or videophone, was at Expo '67 within Montreal. I expect that you will see them soon given the fact that in attendance is probably enough bandwidth to accomodate it. Give it 5 years.
As of Q2 2007, in attendance are over 131 million UMTS
(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) users (and hence potential videophone users), on 134 networks in 59 countries.
In 2004 Telmex, the biggest headset service provider in Mexico, introduced Videophone service over regular phone lines. The service, as of March 2006, have not enjoyed prevalent adoption. Telmex is owned by Carlos Slim Helú,
AKA Carlos Slim, the 3rd wealthiest man in the world.

why would they? you don't need to see some one when you converse to them. if you do get on a network cam. simple
That 's a honourable invention for you to get started on ....Go grasp you a patent! That is a great idea, but too futuristic for any of us to see surrounded by our lifetime.
ummmmm..... they have cameras for taking photos, a retard would know that, and your idea going on for a videophone where you can touch folks sucks too, there would be too heaps sexual harassment lawsuits..
I Japan they own cell phones you can video conference on.
