iPhoneCam streams video from your iPhone over WiFi

A fancy mirror contraption not quite what you had in mind for video conferencing on your iPhone? Fret not, friends; Ecamm Network is back at it, this time devising a way to stream video from the camera -- at 30fps, no less -- to the Mac of your choice over WiFi. Even better, the clever cats hooked it up with Bonjour, so the Mac just sorta sees it as a camera without any configuration needed. The possibilities are pretty endless (or limited, depending on your point of view), but we suppose it's nice for iPhone owners to instantly have a free, remote cam for iChatting, if nothing else. The download isn't available yet, but Ecamm is teasing that they just might be willing to demo it at their Macworld booth this week.

S60 could do that some time back. I am excited to see more apps come to the iphone. I'd like to switch from S60 to the next revision of the iphone but my software library cant be beat. yet.

This does it over wifi, which is pretty trick. wifi webcams are still not very common.

This is the only reason I covet an iPhone - tons of great developers chugging away and making cool stuff, while Apple has the solid bases covered with a simple and stable phone out of the box.

Unlike MS.
