About six months after we first heard Comcast would release a Skype webcam built for its cable boxes Wireless Goodness has uncovered the FCC filing for just such a unit. There’s no pictures of the device itself, but scans from the manual and the diagram above give a good idea of the experience available, including the ability to have video as an overlay on top of TV content, or as a picture-in-picture. Video and audio calls are both possible, as well as instant messaging, and while the Xfinity-branded camera itself clips onto your flat-panel, a small adapter hooks into the set-top box. There’s no word whether or not we’ll see this accessory on display at CES, but the timing certainly lends itself to the possibility.Comcast Xfinity Skype webcam for cable boxes revealed by FCC originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:29:00 EDT.
