Videoconferencing with HP SkyRoom
Videoconferencing has been around for a while now and HP wants in on the action. So they are introducing HP SkyRoom. Videoconferencing software that it claims is not only high-definition and offers live-real-time collaboration, it is also affordable and has no subscription fees. Starting this month it is even more affordable if you are deciding to nab yourself a new HP workstation because it is already coming pre-installed.
According to Jim from HP to connect to a contact, users simply click their name and the live SkyRoom session begins somewhat like AIM. To share media or documents, the host simply clicks the relevant material.
Initially, HP SkyRoom will be free for a trial period on new HP business notebooks and PCs and will be included as a free standard feature on certain mobile workstations and desktops. The software will also be suitable for use on Dell, Lenovo or Sun workstations and PCs if they meet the minimum technology requirements. And the price point they are going with is $149 US.
