My experiences with MPlayer on the Maemo platform is much less superior to VLC on the desktop. I don't ever recall having to resample for the desktop. Had to do so on the NITs.

It's all about taste. And MPlayer, while I used to be a fan with it on my Mac very early on, VLC has replaced it in my usage.

Nimbuzz supports Skype voice and its interface is quite a bit more polished. I don't particularly like interface for Fring, but it's usable.

Pidgin stopped getting updated on Maemo 4 and I had connectivity issues to certain protocols and I dislike lengthy workarounds that may/may not work. And Gizmo... doesn't support Skype.
