Remember the walkie talkie that penny used in the inspector gadget cartoons?

You could see a video of the person talking on the screen. Do they make these in real life? and if so, where can I get them?Remember the walkie talkie that penny used in the inspector gadget cartoons?
Don't really know. I know the technology for a video-phone has been around for maybe over 30 years but it was never produced because women didn't want to be caught at night without looking "decent". The consumers decide what products are made. You could probably rig something up to a wireless network and improvise but i'm fairly certain it won't be the same as "video walkie talkies". Also, I think VOIP offers some form of video phone service but again...it's no video walkie talkie. Sorry I couldn't help much.

they have things like it, such as the Nokia N810, but its not so much just a walkie talkie, and it doesnt have quite the same features, or anything like that. and they are very expensive. there are some others, but they are generally of poor quality
It's a nice idea in the cartoons, but realistically, the bandwidth required defeats the concept. While an FM radio station takes up 200 KHz in bandwidth, and TV audio is just FM radio, the video portion takes up another 4.5 MHz, more than 20 times as much as the audio alone.



Walkie talkie channels just aren't wide enough to accommodate video, too.Remember the walkie talkie that penny used in the inspector gadget cartoons?
A 3G phone with a camera (very high speed connection) could do this, theoretically, but there hasn't really been one made available. These guys claim to have done it eith iPhone:
