Logitech to Aid MSN Messenger Video

Microsoft and Logitech extended their partnership at CeBIT Wednesday by announcing a plan to bring higher quality audio and video to the upcoming release of MSN Messenger 7.0 this spring. According to MSN, 30 million people use the audio and video functions of the service each month.

"The new capabilities we're delivering with MSN will remove barriers that in the past have prevented widespread consumer use of video and audio communications," said Junien Labrousse, senior vice president of the Video Business Unit at Logitech. "MSN Messenger subscribers will soon enjoy high-quality, fully synchronized video and audio over the Internet using tools they're already familiar with."
