Chatroulette using Nokia N900?
 
Hello,

Does anybody knows if one can activate the front face camera to be on chatroulette? Imagine doing chatroulette from everywhere using our n900 without being stucked in front of our dektop.....

This would indeed be cool. Unfortunately its not yet possible. The flash plugin does not have the ability to access the camera hardware.

Here's the bug report:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1889

which was marked as MOVED to Brainstorm:
http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...flash_plug-in/

I suggest you vote for both of them.

jepp that's the problem. people don't know that there IPs are in GeoIP databases and can be pointed to a city.
and now with all these GPS enabled devices that also used a WLAN connection, that could be used to pin point people down to a building.

Those "best of" sites were fun, thanks. So who cares if your city location is known, really?
