I have. What's your point? I'm not talking about just the UI... but you did address that later...

On Maemo, Skype support is in:
-telepathy
-address book
-accounts
Great. And video got left out... why?

So, if N900...
Oh. You misunderstood. We were talking about the N9. It is a N9-centric

I haven't looked in detail at what Harmattan ships, but even if it ships telepathy-qt, there would likely be some porting work from telepathy-glib to telepathy-qt. I have no idea whether the APIs/plugins for addressbook and accounts are similar or totally different.
And therein lies the problem. I'm not saying that the integration of the past version - which I found top notch over all to be honest on my previously purchased and used N900 (that I used to own, and use) - nor the upcoming version on the N9 is lacking. If you thought so, then you misunderstood what I meant wholly.

So to simplify it a bit, if Qt runs the desktop, which also used a multitude of USB and hardwired (on laptops and monitors) webcams, then why wouldn't they use Qt, C++, or other available libraries to get that working on release day on the N9?

And if it's coming, like the N900 finally got webcam usage after release, then it's not announced for some unknown reason. I'd like for it to come out soon and not just for my benefit.

Have a good day
