Not sure if this was posted already. Did a quick search and came up with nothing on the forum, so here it is.

from the forums of Gizmo N800 topic.

Make Video Calls using the Nokia N800 – Beta Release

We are excited to announce that we have added video calling functionality into the Gizmo Project client for the Nokia N800. Now you can see and talk to family, friends, and colleagues all over the world.

We have a beta version available for testing now, click here to try it out!

There are known issues that need to be resolved before we release this client publicly, here's a list of improvement/fixes we are currently working on:

* Limited testing has been done making calls between N800 and other Gizmo clients (i.e. Windows, Mac), we are continuing to make improvements in this area
* Video options haven't been added in yet
* Need to improve cpu usage (lowering it) without affecting video quality
* 'Hold' currently only holds audio .. needs to hold video as well.

We are going to continue improving video quality, graphics and usability over the next couple of weeks, before releasing publicly. So we would love to hear any feedback you may have.

Thank you,
The Gizmo Project Team

Hopefully it motivates skype to do the same.

Like wow!!! This is soooooo kewl!!!!!...

....with one minor exception: VIDEO HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED!

...go figure

way to go Gizmo... its rather pointless to make a beta available to test "video" and then not implement it.

* Video options haven't been added in yet <-- that's why you don't see anything in preferences yet

All you have to do is make a call. You'll see the video window come up. Calls between the N800 and the latest PC beta appear to work fine for me.

just seem premature...
