Money Magazine: Making phone calls over the Internet - and
seeing...
By Brian L. Clark
Face to face - Making
phone calls over the Internet - and seeing the person you're
talking to on-screen - used to be the sole purview of computer
geeks. But the new EZPhone Cam from Ezonics ($99 after a $20
rebate) makes it so simple, anyone can do it. Once you load
the software that lets you place calls, register with the
company, create a buddy list and plug in the camera, you can
exchange video calls with anyone who has an EZPhone Cam (or
any Web cam) and a Net connection. Keep in mind that Internet
calls can be prone to delays and cutoffs. Then again, they're
free. What makes the EZPhone Cam cooler is that it doubles
as a camcorder. You can talk to your grandchildren face to
face-and capture the conversation for posterity.

Click and Chat
Video chat just went from a pain to a breeze. With the EZPhone
Cam, you chat with family and friends over the Internet simply
by clicking on a person's picture. To get started, just install
the EZPhone Cam software, which is free from Ezonics' Web
site. Establish an ID and password, log on to the Internet,
and you're ready to chat. For your friends, the camera is
optional—you just won't see them. When someone wants to reach
you, the EZPhone Cam blinks and rings. Price: $120.

You don't even have to use the handset to dial a call -- just

Introduces EZPhone Cam...
Ezonics And Intel Roll Out Revamped Camera Lines
Sep. 4, 2000
By Doug Olenick
NEW YORK -- Intel and Ezonics refreshed their digital camera
offerings with new models designed for the booming video
phone market.
Ezonics'
new EZPhone Cam can also work as both a still and video
chat camera, but it is tethered to the PC, said Mike Ostwind,
Ezonics' sales and marketing director. The new model's best
selling points, he added, are its ease of use and plug-and-play
capability.
"With
all marketing hype aside, this camera really is easy enough
for my grandmother to operate," Ostwind said.
