3G Video Calling Demonstration

Since we published the 3G video calling demonstration segment back in the Week 39 show, we’ve had a ton of positive feedback.

    Rather than just pointing the camera at the handset, would it be possible to try capturing a video call using a N95/96 with the video out lead?
