ATLANTA (AP) - My cell phone flickered to life in the middle of a rowdy party, and seconds later, my fiancee's face brightened up the screen. "Sorry I couldn't make it," she said. "I wish I was there."
She wasn't physically at the party, but her presence or at least her agony at being stuck in the office was felt, thanks to AT&T Inc.'s new Video Share service. As I panned my phone around the table, I saw how this technology can come in handy.
The service, which AT&T claims is the first to pipe live video from one cell phone to another, worked well. Still, you can't quite call it a "video phone" because Video Share is only a one-way link, meaning one party can see the other but not vice versa at the same time.
