Skype teases upcoming mobile video sharing solution

mobile

Skype put up a new teaser site Wednesday that suggests a new mobile video sharing feature may be introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show next week. Under the heading “I wish I could share moments like these,” the site displays various videos presumably recorded on cell phones. Unfortunately, it appears as though this imminent mobile video solution from Skype may be a video sharing product, where users can record video clips and then share them with contacts. Mobile video sharing solutions are quite old at this point, and consumer interest has moved toward live mobile video chat such as Apple’s FaceTime and the Qik video chat application found on various Android devices. The specifics of Skype’s mobile video offering are still a mystery, however, so let’s hope the chat and VoIP giant has something a bit more modern in store for us at CES.

    It’s understandable that Skype hasn’t heard of youtube and Facebook. They’ve only been around for five or six years, and they’re pretty obscure. And hey, finally a way to forward the video you shoot on your cell phone to your friends. This will be revolutionary!

    When a heavy weight like Skype delay something as Basic as Video chat is becoming, it’s either they are making the best product possible or they have something up their sleeves… LIKE PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS. Keep an eye on them BGR
