Has anyone managed to get meebo video chat working on the n810? Since it's all flash based I figure it might work.

That's too bad, but I'm not surprised. Thanks.
I've seen some other posts about OS2008 to PC video chatting, but no videos of it running. Is there anything actually usable, or are they all proofs of concept?

- N8x0 to N8x0 using the built-in client
- N8x0 running Gizmo to any other Gizmo client
- N8x0 using the built-in client to a Mac or Windows computer running X-Lite
- N8x0 using the built-in client to a Linux computer running one of several clients with Jingle-video support

I've also heard that aMSN works with video chat. I haven't tested it myself.

I've used the built-int chat on the NIT + Empathy on the PC to video chat over google talk.
Empathy is a linux chat client.

Is there an Empathy client for Mac? The OP has an iMac.

Wow. I had no idea the state of things was so positive. I must have missed quite a bit in my search, so I'm sorry about that. Thanks so much.
So, it looks like I can go ahead and get the n810 and put something together on the Mac? There is at least a Gizmo client for OS X. I don't think MSN has a client for the Mac that has video support, but I could be wrong. AIM would, of course, be the best since lots of technophobic family run iChat, but I'll take what I can get.
Those of you who have solved this problem, which method do you think works best? Gizmo? Thanks a lot, all.

I'm thinking of getting an n810 for the sole purpose of video chatting with family while I'm out. We have an iMac at home, which seems to work with meebo video chat relatively well. Has anyone managed to get meebo video chat working on the n810? Since it's all flash based I figure it might work.
If not, is there a PDA that can do what I'm looking for, like an Axim with inexpensive SD camera or something? Thanks.
