The new release fixed some bugs in 3.0 beta, improved its performance and reduced the CPU usage in Pocket PC. It is for devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 with ARM series CPUs.
Version 3.1 Beta for Pocket PC has been released. Microsoft Portrait provides basic chat/voice/video functions almost anytime, anywhere, on any device. The portrait video is so small that it can even be transmitted through an HTTP proxy as text. Microsoft Portrait delivers portrait-like black/white video which can work in bandwidths so low that full color video could never work. It runs on local area networks, dialup networks and even wireless networks with bandwidths as low as 9.6 kilobits/second. Microsoft Portrait is very low bit rate video conferencing software supporting MSN Messenger and Internet Locator Service (ILS) on PCs, Pocket PCs and Handheld PCs.
