I just saw the video, looks awesome. I have experience working on conferencing products and UberConference looks pretty sleek. Some of the pain points that they mention in the video are real. There are plenty of conference applications/products to choose from and not sure how UberConference is going to standout. Also some of the features supported by UberConfernce can be added to the existing conference application with some effort. Its not impossible to add these features as mentioned by craig in the video. Its a crowded market with big potential. All that said, Wish these guys great success.

Both Asterisk and FreeSWITCH, both open source IP PBX projects, have conference bridges that support noise cancelling and speaker detection, and I think several conferencing services do this already.

Of course, building a nice web interface that is better than the competition is a nice way to stand out. Unfortunately, you're often competing with free (as in FreeConferenceCall) so I guess you have to make something really compelling to make a difference worth paying for.
