The Tely HD’s £199 price is a little hard to swallow for a what is essentially a glorified webcam. If you already own an Xbox 360
The £85 Kinect might be a better option
Given its built in web chat skills and voice recognition.And despite being built on Android
The TelyHD only works with Skype
So you can't download and install any other apps onto the device either - so that's no Angry Birds w

Easy to set up. No additional fees. Perfect for relatives who don't want or need a computer. Digital zoom lets you focus on what's important--and hides your messy living room.
It's still Skype, so expect intermittent issues. Expensive for a webcam. Not much control over video quality.
If Skyping from your computer feels too formal, try it from the couch. And if Mr. Spacely calls, you don’t have to answer. Product TelyHD Company Tely Labs Contact www.tely.com Price $249.99 Requirements HDTV with free HDMI port, Wi-fi network o...

You can accomplish more or less the same thing for free with the webcam built into your laptop or tablet. Doesn't support multiparty calls. Video doesn't always look like it's 720p. Awkward TVmount system
Overall, the TelyHD is an improvement over PC Skype calls for small groups, especially if you want to share photos as well as chat. (High-def images may take a few seconds to upload, but they look great on a big screen.) Some connected TVs are startin...
