Oh wow, this is finally a great news for sony user like me. After being jealous with what Fuji have done, then the wait is over. I could make some cool video conference using my sony.
But one more thing, is it just for windows? no mac app just yet? Can’t wait to try it.
For now, just Windows. Most companies started with Windows, and are just now starting to release their Mac versions. So hopefully soon!
