MSN messenger with voice on x30h?

Jehu · 08-19-04, 05:56 PM

Im still waiting for my axim and I wonder if the messenger (or any of MS's updated versions) include the "voice chat" option that i could use with my wifi.

I have seen 3rd party apps, but i wonder about the newer versions.

Also does the x30H have any VPN options?
Do the terminal servies support sound I\O?
(I want to map to my home PC and try my VoiceoverIP (shoreline softwphone) my company uses it so its free service 4 me!)

I have seen 3rd party apps, but i wonder about the newer versions.

Anyone tried?

For instant messaging with voice options, take a look at Microsoft Portrait. Sorry, I don't know the answers to your other questions.

thanks anyway.

No voice on pocket msn apparently. I wish it had voice too ;/ I had to install skype just for voice.

I tried ms portrait but the installer wont work with windows xp for some reason.

It's a POCKET PC! If you expect all Windows Mobile apps to have the full functionality of its PC counterparts, you're in for a rude awakening. Be glad that Skype & Stanaphone are availible for the WM platform.

well, since it is a pocket pc without a keyboard, voice communication would be very helpfull, moreso than on a desktop. its one of hte things youd expect it to have.

her is somthing funny to think about my home pc is a 1999 dell xpst 600 so i think its funny that my pocket pc will have more power then my desk top or mabey im just sad

if you overclock an x30h, it will be faster than a G4 imac.

imacs have audio and video IM'ing, we should too.

God, Axim owners sure are grumpy these days. :(

I personally think everyone should install Skype anyways. It's the killer app of the year, by far..

Here is the VPN software link you will need for your Axim :
VPN SOFTWARE

Good luck! :coffeedri
