I was aware that skype worked (seen thoughtfix's video), I wondered if one of those skype phones that plugs in via usb would work with the correct adapter.
Just out of interest, is there any particular reason you want to use a Skype phone with the tablet? I'm not criticising, I'm just curious!


I must say these things are unreal, to those who say linux somehow is difficult to use for a newb, nonsense. Even with this older OS they are so much cleaner and faster than I expected.
Yeah, Linux is fine as long as someone bothers to do a good front end for it. Ubuntu is also easy enough for newbies IMHO.

Linux was perhaps held back for a while because the early adopters weren't the kind of people who needed an easy.to-use interface, so there wasn't as much pressure to make one. Once Linux started appearing in mainstream products such as ready-made PCs and internet tablets, there were a lot more newbies to be catered for, so there was more incentive to make an easy-to-use interface.
