A bit more on Dell’s new video chat software
We got a little more information on the new video chat software Dell is loading on its freshly launched Studio line of computers. (Dell plans to eventually load the software on other models as well.)
As we reported today, pretty much any computer owner can download a version of the software from SightSpeed, the program’s developer, and connect with other Dell Video Chat users.
But Dell’s version can reach out to folks without the downloaded software, too. It works like this: A user sends a personalized Web address to the person(s) they want to reach. Recipients simply click the link to establish the video chat session through their Internet browser.
Users of Dell’s version also can send video messages via e-mail. In both cases, recipients need neither the downloaded software nor any other chat program.
