Ah yes, tried tango as well, not as good as face time to face time, but i suspect that skype video calling will fix that, its bull**** the iphone has skype video but android doesnt yet.

This was just a dummy app directing you to the app store. Only FW .96 had Skype video but the quality wasn't that good. If you rip the .apk from .96 Skype Video should work.

Perhaps someone could post said apk so everyone doesn't have to download the huge RUU?

Where is FW .96? i searched all the posts here in the dev sections and none of the posted firmwares are .96.

Now this file, when looked up on AndroLib seems to have 5-10k plus installs, if you can help me in finding it (google didn't help much) then we may have a shot at video on the TB using Skype.
Thanks

If someone gets Skype working, I will definitely be donating. I am the only one with a Front Facing camera in the family.

Add me to the donation list..... Maybe we should start a bounty. The first dev to get skype video calls working with decent quality would get the bounty.

I don't like bounties, If I find the apk ill post it for free

I knew the captn would make it happen....cant wait for some video calls on this beast. The ffc is a little shoddy in low light but great during the day
