VideoCall is coming to, oh yes, android - Qik
 
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2369292,00.asp ; The article talks about video call, yadi yada.... as always, Nokia N800 is NOT even mentioned.

A little more details,
================================================== =================
The new version of Qik with full video calling will arrive in the Android Market in about a month, the company said. Video calling will require a device with a Cortex-A8 processor such as the Motorola Droid, Droid X, Sprint's HTC EVO 4G or Samsung's Galaxy S phones.

N800? What about the video call feature that is part of basic UMTS?

I'll start caring when they have native Gtalk and Skype video calls. Nobody I know uses Qik or Facetime for video calling.

i dont see nothing talking bout the n800 or n810 cause if it was for these devices it would be a n900 i feel as through that the dev need to get everbody togather and think of a program we can have to use this camera cause i use everything else besides that and that was one of the reasons why i gotten the n810

why would they mention it?
its not even available anymore and its not even remotely as popular as the mentioned devices.
also, as said, this is about android's version of qik.

I, uh, think that was his point. I'm not sure if he's upset or if he's just trolling.

Re: VideoCall is coming to, oh yes, android - Qik
 
If I recall correctly OP was the one who was really excited to have fully working Andrioid ( opened multiple treads etc) on N900 and now this useless thread...

So I conclude
1. You're trolling
2. You're an Android fanboy
3. You're promoting nitdroid and you're doing it wrong

I don't see why not. Bits is bits is bits. Implementations might have been 3G only, then again, Wifi in phones hasn't been all that common until recently.

IIRC 3G video calls use SIP to build the video connection, so it should work for the usual inernet telephony. Also on the positive side was that video codecs were likely defined in the standard. I'm assuming the Android implementation can only call other Androids, so we have another interoperability barrier.

Well 3g video calling is probably a bit like mms, a "not-invented-here" reinvention that requires you to connect to a different APN.. but I'm just guessing...

Almost everything has a 3g version, IM, photo sharing, video sharing, voice IMs (also known as PTT and walkie-talkie mode)
