Ahhm, no matter if I fill it or not...
There simply IS no download button anywhere on the site... has it been pulled??

 

[Chmeeee]

So presuming you have this new version of AIM on a PC with a firewire IEEE 1394 port, will an iSight work, or is it Apple only?

 

[Stike]

See... no button anywhere...

Oh, and in case anyone is speculating on when the full version will be released, the documentation states that the Beta will expire at the end of March.

Well, I hope apple works with AOL to bundle both iChat and AOL IM with iChat and finally market it to PC users...and actually start advertising iSight!!

Booo!

Freaking AIM 5.5 for PC lets you be INVISIBLE like on Yahoo! Messenger!

iChat AV 2.1? NOPE!

BOO!

Also tried with 3 windows users and each person got a firewall error.

Can't wait till my friend gets home to try it out.

 

[Photorun]

I second the posters upthread about the question of does just the audio chat work? Can anyone test this out?

 

[Dahl]

Stike, I'm looking at the buttton right now, it's under the country text field.

 

[mrzippy]

Downloaded fine here, shame none of my friends who use Windows are online to test.

I imagine it does do voice as it states as a requirement 'iSight, or any microphone'.

I just found out... the download button does not appear in Safari 1.2. Bad bad bad publicity for Apple, I think

The AIM compatible versoin came out a few hours ago so let them know to download it.

 

[mrzippy]

Well I downloaded in Safari v1.2 and there was a download button in my browser.

One way video

I have a twofold question (one is somewhat stupid). First- has anyone confirmed that one way video works or 2 way audio? Second (but more importantly- here is the dumb one) can someone explain how one way video works on iChat? My buddy has a iSight but he hasn't been able to video conference with me because I don't have a cam. What needs to be done to connect wiht one way video? Does it matter who initiates the conversation or what? Thanks for any help.

(sorry that its a bit off topic)

Explain this. I'm not familiar with this. What is the invisible mode? Thanks.

 

[mrzippy]

I might note that this requires AIM v5.5 installed on Windows, www.aol.co.uk only has AIM v5.1 - you need to goto www.aol.com for v5.5.

 

[1macker1]

Oh this is just a beta version, i'll wait a while.

 

[SpY2K]

Boy I hope this works with my PC webcam buddys, I had a heck of a time getting a successful video connection with iChat AV beta before Panther's release.... what is stopping Apple from developing richer features into iChat AV now that it is a $30 app??? I could understand the simplicity of an Apple free iApp when iChat was free.... but now we have to purchase it in one form or another, and the free AIM client has much richer features, I am referring to the basics such as mobiel user identification and auto reply to sender when away...

 

[Steven Chow]

I hope I could use iChat AV chats with MSN Messenger for Windows, 'cause most of my friends using MSN Messenger.

 

[ipacmm]

cool.......going to the apple store to buy an iSight

 

[virividox]

this is great just about time. people started to really ask about isight and its usefullness.

What protocol? Video quality?

I wonder if iChat AV still uses the same protocol as before, and how this would impact the voice and video quality. Would AIM users get the same quality as on iChat?
