dang-- that sucketh. how is the video quality using gizmo? i know as far as pc video goes, skype blows gizmo out of the water. 30 fps is lovely. i'm just wondering because many of my friends and family members are deaf and i use video chat alot- but it really has to be good video quality to understand what they are signing. is gizmo video from tablet-to-pc pretty good quality?

Video qualiity of N81x video calls is limited by the crappy camera anyways. There is no big difference between doing video calls via Sip and via Gizmo albeit both using totally different video codecs.
In both cases the one you call sees a tiny, grainy, dark picture with slightly wrong colours.
No reason to expect that it would be different if a Skype video client was available.

Video call quality on Gizmo is pretty bad, but I am not inclined to buy iskarion's statement on the crappy camera. The camera is VGA and from what I can see, it si not incapable of decent framerate. If a video camera application can be written in the same way that a camera application was, we can confirm my suspicion that it is software related rather than hardware.
I got a fairly large, pixelated with off-colour pixels in my last test of Gizmo over my home network. But as mentioned above, that could be Gizmo related rather than hardware related.

Interesting-- thanks for the feedback. Has anyone tried video calls over other 3G devices? (i.e. HTC TyTn II, other Nokia phones with front-facing cameras)

Ive done a bunch of video calls with different 3G phones, nokia N70 and others. I whould say that the quality of the video is just a bit better then what you get from the N800 videocam. Still its usefull from time to time. My 2 year old daughter where absolutly stunned when she could both speak and SEE mom on the phone!

Has anyone tried out flash video chat websites such as www.tokbox.com and www.snapyap.com? Seeing as how the N810 supports Flash 9, these sites should function properly.

Nope, as mentioned before, Adobe hasn't built webcam support for Linux into Flash
