You can watch the test, and help us find bugs / problems. Here are the links.

    wow – the image is doing a weird shimmy-shake-bounce

    Yeah. We are going to be playing around with different resolutions, and will be testing the audio.

    We have to keep the bitrate low though for when we are in low connectivity areas.

    Bear, that’s a good idea. We’re looking into setting up a chat.

    OS X Safari and FireFox – viewing just fine
    Ubuntu w/Firefox – app seems to start but no video or sound

    image quality is much improved and not dithered/pixellated looking

    still kinda shaky-squirmy

    audio is clippy and just a touch distorted

    sent my comments on twitter. But you really rock guys ! :-)

    Pictures – not a lot of frames dropped
    Sound – not always easy to understand (moreover for a french guy) :-)
