From what I’ve read, multi-party video iChat requires hardware with at least dual-G4 or single G5 processors. If this is correct (sorry, I don’t own a Mac...yet) then you pretty much have to be desk-bound to make use of this cool feature.
There might be valid reasons for this limitation, but I think there is a lot of potential for multi-party video iChat on the go.
Hope to see a workaround for this in the near future.

Yeah, that is correct. I didn’t see that mentioned anywhere as it was all being introduced in Tiger, but it’s very obvious now.

It’s sad that I have the most advanced Powerbook that you can buy right now and I’m still not able to do the multi-user video chat.

you can do iChat 3-way video from your laptop no problem!
There’s a free demo too.
