Greetings:
Ok I don't want to rock the boat, but if GizmoProject just became available for the N800, would this put a monkey wrench in the mix for Skype.
As a Skype user, I know that Skype will comeout with the best interface for the N800.
I tuely hope they include a very good video support and other features.
I can't wait when Skype will release their version for the N800.
Regards Robert

I may be wrong, but I don't think so. Gizmo is much more standards-based and interoperable (its secondary, plain-vanilla SIP account is one of its strong points). Skype has a closed and proprietary protocol, based on some sort of P2P scheme, which has it banned from many corporate networks for security reasons.
