Video mobile phones.. what are they all about? They are the latest thing to incense me. As the techonology is as far advanced as the early housebrick cellphones were in 1989, I really cant see the point of them at all, unless you work in the porn industry.
On the ferry back from Palermo, a bloke called his mate. At six in the morning they had a video conversation. It went like this...
Ciao
...ciao (actually the other person sounded like lkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkcccccccccccccsstkmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Can you see Vesuvio?
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I cant hear you
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk cccccccccccccccccccccc hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I said can you see Vesuvio
kkkkkkkkkkk ssssssssssssssssssssss hggggnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkl
we'll talk later
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I said we'll talk later
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
What?
lkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
end of call
Now the technological problem here is a crap video camera housed in a small piece of plastic with equally naff speakers. Hence, the fact that to use the video you have to hold the phone at arms length, which means that to hear your caller the speakers have to be at top volume with all the resultant distortion. I cant believe the men at Motorola didnt latch on to that, or perhaps they were so keen to get the porn industry to buy in bulk the idea of holding anything at arms length carried them away. And to cap it all, everyone within earshot has to listen to your inane conversation in which you ask each other to repeat what the just said ad infinitum.
Much better would be a phone whihc when you held it at arms length squirted water in your face... and about as effective as video telefony.
