Ordinary email has just been changed forever.

Whether it's a specific message sent to clients announcing a new product or service, or a personal video email so grandma can see the kids, VMailTalk lets users record messages right from their desktop and send them out 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The problems generally associated with other video email programs have been large attachments and the need for the recipient to download special viewing software.

VmailTalk, brought to you by Talkway Communications, has solved those problems by combining a user-friendly PC camera and Outlook/Outlook Express enhancements to dramatically reduce email file size and eliminate the need for special viewing software.

And you can have it all for $39.99, including a Logitech QuickCam Express, a detachable microphone and 300 video minutes. The USB camera with focus ring and 6-foot cable usually retails for about $50. You can use 25 video minutes monthly for a year, and buy additional chunks of time at $5 for 40 monthly minutes from Talkway's web site.

Installation is simple. Since VMailTalk is a Java applet, it shows up in the top right corner of each new email you send. You can see the image and adjust it, along with the sound before clicking the Record button. When you're satisfied with the final version, just hit Send. If you just want to send text, don't record anything. So far, VmailTalk has streamed successfully in Outlook/Outlook Express, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Netscape Messenger, Eudora, etc. But, as of yet, VMailTalk is NOT Mac-compatible.

Not only is the video email highly effective, but you now have a PC camera -- which you can also use for video chats, stationary webcam, etc., if you have the right software. And it's hard to beat that price!

Finally, every user you reach can experience high-quality video messages that are easy to create, fast to send and fun to use. Find out how Talkway Communications guarantees to reach over 95% of your Internet audiences
