N80 as a wireless webcam?

Is there any software that will let you "video chat" using the front facing camera over wi-fi with someone who is on a windows desktop?

The idea being if you're in a wireless hot-spot, video chatting with friends who are sat at their computers would be fantastic!

you may find something here http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/software/search.php?s=wifi+webcam

or maybe by contacting one of the developers they may have something or something in development

There no software for 3rd Edition yet. The nearest you get in Digia Image Expo and that work via USB or Bluetooth so it wont help you (no audio either). I imagine this may come in time. Though it is a bit of a niche product.

There are security type camera application for S60 2nd edition (usually triggered by sening an sms). I imagine they will come for 3rd edition in time. This is near - http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/software/item/Argus_Remote_Surveillance_Standard_for_S60_3rd_Edition.php - but is actually the other way round.
