New to the videoconferencing market is Creative‘s new inPerson videoconferencing device.  The inPerson, which has been in development for four years, is an ethernet-enabled high resolution videophone that will work on cable or DSL connections from 256k to 1 megabit up.  It functions on both 802.11b and 802.11g standards, and at 7.5” x 6” x 1” and 1.6 pounds is small and light enough to bring on the road for conferencing while traveling.

The inPerson features dual microphone, a speaker and input jack.  The seven inch 640x480 VGA screen can be output to an HDTV or projector for meetings with multiple people on either end.  Video calls can be placed to Internet users who don’t have inPerson devices.  The telephone keypad dials like a regular phone, and the inPerson stores contacts in an internal contact list.

Creative’s inPerson is available now for $699 and a $10 monthly subscription fee.
