I've also just started playing with video conferencing (because of the iSight in my macbook pro). In my case it's not so much grandparents as uncles, aunts, and cousins, who are scattered across the globe.
What I want to see (and what will be present in MacOS10.5, if I've understood the preview comments correctly) is a way to switch the video to the screen of the computer from which you're sending. It will make calls with my collaborators SO MUCH easier if I can show them what's going on and make real-time changes while talking to them. I guess there are applications that claim to do that now, but they either didn't sound too confident, or were too expensive, or both. I can wait until Leopard is out.
