Elive2u sets its sights high. This communication app incorporates an instant messenger into its video e-mail delivery system. Alas, it's pretty lousy at both functions. As a video e-mailer, it has one huge problem: your recipient must be online and checking e-mail to see the live feed. And even if you catch your pal online, the video quality isn't fabulous, and Elive2u's instant messaging is slow and awkward. If you really want to send video e-mail to family and friends, turn to VMailTalk. 1, record 7, English, - video%20e%2Dmailer
