I'm often left wondering what it would take for video 
telephony to take off...

Thinking about i-mode mail, it's worth considering that it's 
success could be partially attributed to simple network 
effects. If you could only send i-mode mail to another 
handset (a la SMS) would it be as popular?

Perhaps bridging video telephony to the internet (iChatAV, 
Yahoo! Messenger, etc) would get things started.

Cheers
