• TELYHD ALLOWS HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO CALLS - A new product called TelyHD revives the idea of using HDTVs – undoubtedly the biggest display panels found in homes - to make video calls that are literally high definition. Made by startup Tely Labs, the set-top device that looks eerily similar to Microsoft’s Kinect controller contains a wide-angle high-definition webcam that turns HDTVs into videophones that connect calls via Skype. Networking giant Cisco earlier marketed a gadget called ümi that is intended for making HDTV calls.
