Hehe... I installed Ubuntu 9.10 today at my bf's computer and tested empathy there, just to make sure it works and gets across the NAT etc.
I had my N810 connected to my mobile phone via BT and called from the Ubuntu PC to the N810 - I wasn't prepared for the video to pop up, neither was he. He tries to keep away from all the tech things in my life, but I could see this sure impressed him. I bet one of these days he'll want a webcam so he can do video chats when I'm away with my N810
What impressed me was that - after all these years of struggling to get PC to tablet video chats to work - we've now finally reached to point where it "just works" without any tweaking or so. And it works even though the N810 is not on wifi but tethered to a phone. We should have had that when the N800 was launched.
