Maybe these webcams come with commercial grade drivers, and the front facing camera of the N9 does not?
The whole porting from GTK+ to Qt happened over a year ago for most folks. So to hear that it has to be re-written to QML/Qt Quick yet again seems like there was an extra step.
Not exactly ideal, but hey... **** happens.

Maybe you should start a new thread for the skype issue, something like "Skype video call [EPIC]". My gut tells me that it'll be a long one.

Also, it would have put hair on their chest.
Still waiting for Qt Components to merge across the two platforms. :/ It baffles me why they ever thought it would be a good idea to have separate components. Completely unnecessary fragmentation that undermines the whole 'code once, deploy everywhere' mantra.
Even though there are many, if someone wants to point to just one thing of why Nokia is struggling so hard, this could be in the top five.

A glimpse of Multi-tasking. 30 'instances' of apps open simultaneously and smooth as butter.

It's so funny that there's so much uncertain hoop jumping to be done to do seemingly trivial things that other platforms do. It seems whenever Nokia gets into things get more complicated and fragmented. It must be exhausting for devs and hackers.
@gerbick
Which WP7 phone do you have? and what are your major personal drawbacks with it post Mango update. I ask since you've had much more experience with it than I have and I intend to get the HTC titan when it comes out.

As a consumer, that is a step backwards for the same "tier" of device, if it never comes to the N9.
have you compared the front cam image on N900 for "skype", "miror" and gstreamer? skype image is way better, on the very same hardware, because of tweaking and optimisation from the n900 skype devs (that they didn't release for others app to use, so we can't really thank them for that).
How do you think these patches apply on the N9? They don't. So the fact that skype has been released for the N900 is irrelevant.
All of the technical reasons why don't really matter. If it's a priority feature for Nokia they will make it happen or partner with someone again who can (skype/MSFT). Or they will not. They did it once before on a similarly classed device, so why not now (rhetorical question)?
My only point is that we shouldn't lower expectations when there was a reasonable precedent set before in the N900, and there was definitely a subtext of "how could you guys expect the N9 to support skype video chat" cropping up for a second there. It's not like skype video chat is some archaic dev-only feature that no one uses.
Apologies for the tangent. I will stay on topic starting on 10,000 going forward.

But yeah it still needs to be done. Everything you see on the screen have to be completely rewritten when porting from qwidgets to QML. People seems to be quite happy to do it anyway because QML is the MUCH better toolkit to use for tablets.
