Interesting, I wonder if this is a result of Skype being open sourced (somewhat?).

ya they dont mention if it has become "open" or not but fring video is currently supported on Nokia touch (such as X6, N97 mini,N97, 5800), N95, N95 8G and N82 devices. Supposedly coming to other popular nokia devices soon...

There is some vids on youtube where a desktop vid calling a N900 works but the N900 cant initiate the call and it seems that the front facing cam isn't tweaked properly yet to look very good when making these calls. I dont think hardware is an issue, it is a matter of tweaking the software. I hope we can get this to be functional because the iPhone 4g is expected to have this feature, and due to their overbearing prescence in North America you know all the fanboys will salivating over how awesome it is, would like to beat em to the punch on this one.

I didn't get Skype to work, it showed up on N900 as a voice call.
The MSN (butterfly) video and Gtalk video worked though.
It would be if there is a button to initiate the video call from the phone.

There is no video talk if a MAC initiates the call as well, is what I have found out.

I've tried this with a friend N900 to N900. Skype doesn't support, Gtalk doesn't support it. Amsn might, but it is soooo slow. (these are all phone to phone results)
We are waiting for the release of Fring for N900. It used to be available, but it was pulled from the website. Rumours go that Fring gets the exclusive on videocalling for Nokia.
Anyone who can confirm this?
