When you get the N800s, update them to the latest version of OS 2008 because that will make them run about 20% faster and has lots of other improvements.

OS 2008 is totally free, if you need help with updating the tablets see this tutorial I wrote about the process:

It's a very easy process if you have access to a Windows PC, you just install and run the update wizard, plug in a fully-charged tablet in update mode, and the software takes care of the rest.

I expect 128 RAM will be perfect for their usage.
Should I allocate virtual memory?
Does anyone know if they will come from amazon with the latest OS?
Could a Skype usb phone work through the miniUSB with the proper adapter?
I don't think you need to allocate virtual memory, try without it and see how you manage. Personally I never use virtual memory.

I assume you know that the N800 has a built-in Skype app that works without any extra hardware? It works just like a speakerphone, you just put the tablet on a table and talk to it like someone is in the room with you. If you want privacy you can put some headphones in the audio socket.
