hi all,
I've done some searching around and couldn't find any mentions of a webcam application. at the moment the N900 can't do video calling with skype, so i was hoping someone could create an application to turn the phone into a web cam so can use it with skype on my pc.
I guess it would also be cool if it worked using wif; but if it's only poaaible with bluetooth that will still be great.

thanks in adcance

Chris

Actually amsn for Maemo 5 does do webcam and will work with msn clients using a computer, so far as I know it's the only tested working app for the N900 with webcam support. And I totally agree, Skype vid would be great if someone's willing to make it happen.

You can do video calls with the xmpp (jabber) inbuilt client too.

That would be quite awesome to double up your N900 as a wifi based webcam on demand...

Hmm, reading the original post eh? I like it.

Well, this thread talks about using the n800 (probably scales to the n900) cam as a PC webcam, but under linux:

I guess you are using windows stobbsc?
