The Mike gives his bold statement a rethink...
Current technology - it would be close...
My PDA is a 32-bit, 400Mhz RISC machine...
My Intel-466Mhz machine used to be marginal for the decode/display...
But this is a two-way application...
Never tried ENCODING with the 466Mhz desktop machine.
But a low res, micro-screen image (read low bit-rate) and some trickery
to make half-duplex (nobody ever interrupts the speaker during a
department meeting - do they?), seem like full-duplex...
Then, if still strapped for computer resources...  emulate slow-scan
with a low frame-rate...

If one presumes that PDA computing resources have not stagnated,
It might not be too soon to begin studying this "Video-Phone/Live
Conference" sort of application.

Let me know when someone gets it running on IBM's wristwatch
sized PDA.  and CC:Dick Tracy
