Sure it's possible. Just change the skype config/source so that it uses the other v4l device.
By the way, I can't see Skype with front cam in this video, just the specific apple video call thing.

A widget or something would be useful :)

This kind of answer, while earnest; doesn't quite help. I'm sure it's common knowledge that the Skype source is closed; the request needs to be made to the vendor for such a feature by either the handset manufacturer to fit closely with what hardware is there to be utilized or by exposing the APIs and offering documentation (and incentive) to do so... by the handset manufacturer usually.

Well... heck. My answer doesn't help as much either. Perhaps aMSN, RTComm and the rest - including Pidgin will make this happen first perhaps? Or even Fring?

Maybe it would be possible to find the video device it uses from the binary and change that, or redirect the path with LD_PRELOAD style hook? If either is possible, maybe it would also be possible to make a new video device that allows changing from one camera to the other in real time.

/dev/video0 and /dev/video1 are just names. Swap them to swap cameras. I haven't tested this, but it ought to work.
