I'm having exactly the same problem. It is NOT a connectivity problem - the tablet is sitting about 30cm from the wireless router and I can access any web site etc. Signal strength is 100% However, when I attempt to load ANY application - not just Skype - it just sits there saying 'downloading 1Kb' and does absolutely nothing. Occasionally, it says there has been a problem with the repositories. It looks like it never makes a connection! I can download .install files easily - but then nothing happens. Just what is going on? Has Nokia / Maemo dropped off the face of the earth? Totally frustrating.........
