So Skype has almost nothing special to offer when compared with Google Talk.
Is this correct?

Skype on n8x0 doesn't support video.
I just tried to use the "internet call" app that comes installed with maemo, it was able to connect to my google account, download contacts and even start a call to my desktop. After answering on the desktop the tablet kept ringing but the desktop said no video or voice was available from the tablet.
The google talk codec that came with maemo4 is probably too old to work with newer codecs. Maybe two n8x0s can call each other though...

Oh wow.
So I totally missed out on all of the fun stuff 5 years ago.
Talk about being a little too late to the party.

Yeah you missed out, Addison.
I used to videochat with Gizmo5 between two N810s.
Also used to be able to use DialCentral + Gizmo5 in lieu of a phone for free. You could even use the Nokia SIP client instead of the Gizmo5 client.
