Sorry if this has been done before. I spent an hour this morning with video skype to my brother and father in Australia using the new OSX skype beta (3g). I've been waiting for the OSX update since pr1.2. Just wondering, what other os works with n900 for video skype. Symbian 3 better had.

Thanks for that. I tried that a few weeks ago with a friend of mine. Wanted to know more about mobile skype versions. For instance. My Dad on iphone 4 can video skype using fring on wifi with my uncle on fring on android on 3g. I don't imagiine for 1 second we'll get an update for fring but apparantly it works well.

I had no issues using video skype from the N900 to a Windows PC user. It all went well, phone call lasted over an hour. Hadn't seen the guy since 1975.

My fiancee video calling from her iPod Touch 4th Gen to me resulted in it turning into a regular skype audio only call. While me trying to call her resulted in me showing video but not seeing hers. She also could not see my video or bring up hers.

So it looks like it doesn't work video call wise.
