I can't believe I'm hearing rationalizations about why it's ok that skype video call isn't (yet) possible on the N9 when I'm using it on a regular basis in the N900.
Or is there some proof that Nokia is activly preventing Skype from being able to do videocalling in N9?

Gerbick summed up my thoughts nicely in his font-6 mini rant, but come on guys, don't let N9 "cyan-fever" cloud your better judgment. You're all better than that (most of you lol).
How do you think these patches apply on the N9? They don't. So the fact that skype has been released for the N900 is irrelevant.

I thought Harmattan was supposed to be this in-between abomination that mixes elements of Maemo with MeeGo so that developers can migrate from Maemo to MeeGo more easily... and yet, this happened. Your latter question is the better one to ask--is there anything actively preventing Skype from porting over easily? Why didn't it support the camera already? Is there some kind of lack of hardware support or crippling or something?
