Adium offers first look at video integration

When it comes to video and audio conferencing on the Mac, or rather more importantly video and audio conferencing with our PC brethren, there aren't many choices beyond Skype and SightSpeed.

Thankfully, there's hope for Mac users – not only has Microsoft committed to releasing a version of Microsoft Messenger that will allow audio and video chats, but the very excellent open-source Adium project has revealed the new look of Adium's 2.0's (still under development) video chatting in a blog post celebrating Leopard's release.

A version using the new code 2.0 is, sadly, still in the future – and there's no release date for the A/V feature set. If you're wanting to follow the progress of the Adium team, however, as they work towards a release, the code is now available online along with screenshots of what we can expect.
