Re: Skype on N800
This Skype player for Linux is there for a long time =) And Skype for N800 will be fully supported by n800 as Nokia+Skype released a note about it at the start of the year. br, On 6/29/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/shut-yo-mouth/is-that-skype-on-a-nokia-n800-273037.php So, i would have thought i would have heard about this first on this list.

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/shut-yo-mouth/is-that-skype-on-a-nokia-n800-273037.php The JK post (1) is much more informative. This has been scheduled for the end of the quarter and a fair number of folks are waiting with baited breath for the next OS update in expectation that Skype will be in it. However, JK notes that his sources at the Nokia booth suggest that video calls will not be supported... which is fantastically disappointing. Video calling is _by_far_ the most useful potential application for the camera.

The people behind Skype have no interest in Linux at all. Video on Linux is a no brainer, they could have included it a long time ago. Basically there is probably about .25 of a person working on this app. The best that could happen is someone reverse engineers the skype protocol and we can kiss the rotten company goodbye. I disagree, the better would port new version of telepathy which already present in n770/n800 for chat and voice but very old snapshot. Moreover it based on open XMPP standard used by google if you want weighted names. This new version according to screenshots on the site already implements video calls. -- Sayonara, Max. -- Sayonara, Max. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

RE: Fwd: Skype on N800
Nice info Eric, thanks. Open question to N800 program folks: what is so wrong about providing more communications to the community about updates? Lot of owners being very patient about Skype and OS releases, but irritated about the silence. Can't we at least provide SOMEthing to them??? They know Finland started mass vacation and so they're disappointed nothing came out today...

His view is representative of many of your users. It's apparent that Nokia have no issues communicating good news but seem to be far less forthcoming when bad news needs to be disseminated to the community. On several occasions Nokia have not bothered to communicate the bad news at all (eg. where the heck is the N800 case - just tell us if it's cancelled, or merely delayed[1]) or you have forced the community to beg/demand information updates (eg. future 770 development). If Skype is delayed beyond H1 (which it almost certainly will be unless it's delivered Saturday) please let us know if/when it's expected. We'd much rather have this update than be kept in the dark. Think of it like when you are waiting for a train that is running late - it's much better to have an announcement informing you the train is going to be 5 minutes late than to be kept in the dark and told nothing at all! The secrecy surrounding firmware releases and future OS updates is utterly ridiculous and undermines the whole Maemo/Internet Tablet effort - it's not necessary, adds to the overall user confusion and frustration, and ultimately helps nobody. Nokia: you're a communications company. Communicate, communicate and communicate! 1. http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=144920 ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
