So, my guess is either wrapper or a longish wait until pulseaudio support trickles down from the (already a year late) linux client.

BTW, I've tried Sype-through-Fring on my girlfriend's iPod Touch, and it just hangs.
If you read the announcements and read what the Skype spokesman says he refers to Symbian. AFAIK its a native port; not J2ME. And even then, J2ME is not available for Maemo. IIRC Skype for Linux is a Qt application. It might as well be ported to Maemo instead.

The bottom line is whatever rights Nokia negotiated for the use of third party code are not transferable.

Are you also a Lawyer? Have you ever tried to negotiate with a corporation for code on behalf of a not for profit or non profit organization having 0 (zero) assets? How did that work out for you?
Just wondering.
(non-profits, including a Mer Foundation, can have valuable assets - and a good mobile OS can be a valuable asset)

The mention of a java version of skype (above) made me think about the possibilities of java on the new platform.
I've played with Jalimo on my N800 and it's nice, but not being hildonized, it can't do what I need (freemind without a keyboard for one example, not running so slowly I want to cry for another).
To the point:
Has anyone heard any news at all about whether or not Nokia is (finally) willing to license Jazelle (Java directly on the OMAP3 hardware) for Maemo 5/RX-51?
This could really make it a fantastically versatile and powerful platform... imagine hardware accelerated Android (just one example), not to mention all of the software that would immediately become available/usable.
Is it really that expensive that, given a mass-produced product, the price is too large of a percentage of the resulting device to be feasible?
(I searched around a bit and couldn't find anything... sorry if this has been discussed since the N810 was released)

The current Skype client for S60 is written in J2ME. J2ME is not full Java implementation. It is a stripped/embedded version (Mobile Edition).
Skype client for Linux requires Qt.
If you read the news about Nokia & Skype partnership it is integrated in the OS, and it will be included in the N97 firmware. Is J2ME by default installed on Nokia N-Series?
Skype is also porting to Android and Mobilin. But these are 'light' versions.
So at least part of the code is cross-platform, and its ported to ARM, and the full Linux version uses Qt. Perhaps a full Linux version ported to ARM is not far-fetched.
In any case, I don't mind that they want to profit on their infrastructure but I do think its nice to be able to pick your own VoIP client. Thats why I suggest SIP and open IM protocols like Jabber.
