Hi gif83,
Thanks for the reply. In response to you comments..

1. perhaps the age range should be for a slightly younger user group than suggested.
Very true, the market that i have recognised is just the bulk one. If anyone know where i can get a better Demographic of messenger users, or web cam users i would be very grateful. I normally get this sort of stuff from www.mintel.com but there isn't anything there.

2. gender... possibly more attractive to the female population methinks..
Yes, very true. for the pitch i will market more to this group. Although in today’s market, things arn't as black and white (or pink and blue) as Male and female.

3. for a development crit, you might also think of how the cam is used.. for example, at the moment you see the cam is on an L-shaped base .. intended for standing on a desk perhaps... many people have their cams attached to their screen... sometimes the desk may be too low for a clear shot of the person... is there adjustability in direction that the cam points?
This is something that im working on for my more detailed design. the aesthic and form that i put in the PDF is just a concept for the form. Its being changed dramatically. On another interesting note, we found that a webcam on the monitor is a more confrontational and for more enterprise users.

4. have you considered using the actual form of the cam to represent something with some personality or character... maybe something anthropomorphic.. maybe you've just thought that's too cheesy but there are subtle ways of doing this too.
As i know you are a "product designer" / PDStudent. This is something i have exploded to length, and decided not to. The current look is meant to be like a eye, with the whole in the back, making the camera more inviting. As you are looking through the product, and not just staring into a camera. Lots of extra stuff, but I will be changing the aesthetic, I will keep you updated!
Cheers for the feedback, any other comments?
