Now enjoy HD Webcam streaming on your Skype

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ever since I began using Skype to make video calls to my friends and family, I was worried of the poor video quality of the webcams i used. I even tried with the best webcams available at the stores, but all were at wit's end! Then I came to know of some HD webcams sold in the market, such as Microsoft Cinema and Logitech Pro 9000, but they cannot stream true HD quality over Internet. Their HD quality can only be accomplished locally and thus we cannot achieve HD quality internet video calls using these models.

It was at this point of time that I stumbled upon a webcam shopping site - the faceVision on line store. The site boasts of a new webcam called the faceVsion TouchCam V1, that can stream HD video calls over the Internet. The site was so pleasing to me, that I bought the webcam and found that it had some extremely astonishing features that i never thought could be possible in a webcam.

• The FV touchcam N1 is the world’s first Skype-certified webcam capable of delivering full screen 720p streaming video over the Internet. 
• The TouchCam N1 features embedded hardware H.264 encoding, a chip that takes the 720p video and using high-quality encoding technology, squeezes the video into a stream small enough to be sent over a typical Internet connection. 
• The N1 also features a best-in-class 78 degree super wide angle lens with fast auto-focus, so several people can comfortably get into the picture. 
• The N1 attaches easily to most notebook computers or flat-panel displays and can also sit on a desktop. Easy plug- and-play installation via hi-speed USB 2.0.
• FV touchcam N1is the first Internet streaming true HD webcam for Skype video calls.
• FV touchcam is available through shop.facevsion.com and other value added partners.
• It can be used for video calling between friends and family, business associates, even your clients

There is also another version available, called the FV ExpressCombo which has advanced features than the touchcam. Try these webcams to experience the world of HD. Good Luck...!!!

Govt threatens to ban BlackBerry, Skype

India has given Internet telephony pioneer Skype and the makers of BlackBerry handsets a deadline to fall into line with strict security-monitoring regulations or be blocked, a report said.

India's intelligence officials have long complained that they are unable to decipher encrypted data sent on Blackberry handsets, made by Canadian firm Research In Motion, or intercept calls on Skype.

The government has threatened to ban or block BlackBerry and Skype services if the companies fail to adhere to a 15-day deadline to make data available in formats that can be monitored, a leading business newspaper said.

Google has been asked to ensure emails on its Gmail service can be deciphered, though no deadline has been issued, the paper said.

"The latest development indicates that security agencies are again finding it difficult to intercept or decipher messages sent through BlackBerry phones," the paper said.

The Indian telecommunications ministry was unable to comment when contacted by AFP.

India, which faces a strengthening home-grown Maoist insurgency and constant threats from Islamist groups, is highly sensitive about the potential risks of technology.

The government has been restricting imports from Chinese telecom equipment manufacturers because of Indian intelligence agency fears that "spyware" could be embedded in the equipment.

It has also restricted the use of mobile phones in violence-wracked Indian Kashmir, where pay-as-you-go phones and the use of text messages have been curtailed. The area is a hotbed of anti-India activity.
