In OS2008 this choice is yours. If you want it to automatically launch the Internet calling app it will, if not it does nothing.

OS2008 also video support over SIP (h.263 video) which looks much better then Gizmo video IMO. I would also support video over Jabber to a PC whenever someone finally makes a Jabber client that supports jingle-video. I'm betting we'll see Googles Gtalk Jabber client add this in 2008. In that respect Nokia is ahead of curve.

You could use the "motion" application that someone compiled a while back. Has several options including serving up a mjpeg image with a pretty impressive frame rate. I think it would need to be re-compiled for OS2008 though.

Personally I think that is a Skype issue. I would be nice if Skype included video. However making the leap that because the tablet had Skype and a little camera it could do video calls is a bit much. Especially considering Skype only recently released a linux beta of any kind with video support.

But it sounds like eBay has solved this problem
