Re: Skype video?
> I am not too worried about video with Skype (although of course it would > be nice!) I've been waiting for this since the release of the N800. It's one of the reasons I bought the device (having misread 'plans for skype + integrated video camera' to be the same as 'plans for skype video calling'). The Nokia N-series is undoubtedly the most convenient video-calling platform ever made... excepting that it doesn't actually do video calling. If it ever actually happens, regular-joes are going to flip when they see it in action (zomg, look at teh video phone!!!one!!111), But the foot-dragging seems to have no end in sight.

Re: Skype video?
I am not too worried about video with Skype (although of course it would be nice!) - what I really miss compared with Desktop Skype is the ability to send SMS text messages. This is a brilliant feature of Skype and saves me a load of cash (I only have a PAYG mobile phone account so SMS messages are comparatively expensive otherwise). Now this is one feature which would be a no brainer to add to the N800 N810 version of Skype - no excuses about processing power etc. Cheers J ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

And here's where it breaks down:
sudo modprobe mtdram total_size=65536 erase_size=256
64 megs is not large enough for the OS2008 image. Anything larger
causes modprobe mtdram to fail ("allocation failed: out of vmalloc space
- use vmalloc= to increase size.")

Re: Skype video?
Been down this a bit too. I only got Gizmo working with Video. However, the new Internet Communication Software supports SIP clients http://rtcomm.garage.maemo.org/ I tried using it to call my Gizmo account and it worked, but with no video.Hopefully they will add in the final release.

I wonder whether the g729 dsp codec from N800 could be made to work on 770 too. It is not performance problem since N800 uses same DSP with lower clock but the dsp bios is different.

When I had Nokia 770, I couldn't use Skype, they didn't a Nokia 770 version, because it hasn't enough processing power to make voice calls, but I was able to do voice calls with Gizmo. Now the same situation: N800/N810 haven't enough processing power to do video calls with Skype, while you can do them with integrated Gtalk client or with Gizmo.
