The problem is probably in the reqirements to encode and decode the video stream that skype normally uses.

Isn't it so that none of the linux versions of Skype support video? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Since N800 is basically linux... it is rather logical that it doesn't have video. If it did, would have been more of a surprise.

Skype for Linux is based on QT but maemo has is GTK based so I think they have not build Skype for n800 on this base.
Building video support for a single device with common hardware (n800/buildinwebcam) is easier than for Skype/Linux.
