Phones for the future?

Michael Gove, softening his criticism with characteristically charming flattery, doesn't much like the Twofers.

Oh well.

Along the way he argues that the videophone is a technology that has passed by. I can't agree. I still doggedly maintain it's on its way.

And in my defence, I point out that the President of the United States and the Prime Minister employed the videophone to communicate just yesterday.

The Twofer arrives...

Here it is. A Comment Central first. And, I think, a UK blogging first too.

We're now able to bring you two-way webcam interviews, allowing me to talk to bloggers and Times correspondents all over the world.

The first Twofer is a discussion I had with super-blogger Stephen Pollard a couple of hours ago on this morning's Tory launch.

It crackles a bit, but that's the price of being a pioneer.

(Thanks to Tom and Murad at The Times and to Scott and Aron at Sightspeed)
