iChat AV 2.1 ist Videokonferenz tauglich (mit Windows)

Schon länger gerüchtet, nun (endlich) zumindest als Public Beta vorhanden: iChat AV 2.1 (lässt sich ohne nervende Dateneingabe bei macupdate ziehen):

"iChat AV v2.1 Public Beta adds support for video conferencing with the AOL Instant Messenger 5.5 for Microsoft Windows."

"With the introduction of iChat AV in Mac OS X Panther and the iSight camera, Apple revolutionized the way people communicate with each other over the Internet," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Now iChat AV users can video conference with their AOL buddies around the world who use PCs."
