Now, when you're chatting with someone via GMail, you'll actually be able to chat. Google has added voice and video capabilities to its Web-based email service. All it takes is downloading a plug-in and clicking the "video and more" menu in a GMail chat window. You will then have the option of starting a voice or video conversation. Once the video chat has started, you can resize the window up to a full-screen view with a single click.

Snom Brings New 820 Business IP Phone to U.S.
Snom Technology AG introduced its new 820 model business IP telephone to the U.S. at the VoiceCon San Francisco show this week. The 820 features a 3.5-inch color display and enough processing power to support video streaming. It includes PoE (Power over Ethernet) capability so that it will work without a separate power supply. It also has a trough on the back containing a USB port. Plugging a wifi dongle into the port makes it possible to use the phone in voice-over-wifi mode where there's no wired Ethernet connection.
