anyone ever heard of Speedsight?

[HughJ]

i found a bit of software this morning, thats supports both Mac's (intel too) and PC's for voice and video

seems to work ok, although i have not tried the video/voip facility

Sure. Reasonably well received product. Good implementation. Works with an iSight.

I don't use it on a regular basis since I don't really have the need. But if I was after free VoIP, I'd certainly give it a shot.

propperly a silly question - what makes this a better voice/video-calling app than skype??

 

[quigleybc]

i did a direct comparison between iChat, Skype and sightspeed.

sight speed had decent video, but a terrible layout,

Skype won me over easily.

Is it true that Skype will stop being free soon ?

wrong place to ask this question, but here i go: does video and or conferencing using ichat work when chatting with a windows user?

oh, and skype wins me over definetly. i just dont like it that there is such a huge delay for video to arrive to whom im talk to (i use it for overseas communication, maybe thats the problem??)

SightSpeed seems to be the favorite of PCMagazine and Download Squad.
