[Q] Mod the new Skype app to video call on the Galaxy Tab 10.1?

---

Skype released an update today that released video calling to some devices.

"- Two way video calling is supported on the following handsets: Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro."

Is it possible to change some strings in the app to allow the video calling to work on other devices like the tab 10.1?

Tried it on mine, but couldn't sign in. Your mileage may vary.

Tried it on mine but the app just closes down when trying to sign in.

At sign in the app crashes and takes me back to home....

I got the Skype app from the Xoom forums and it works on my tab. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1148715

Edit: download is is the third post.

Don't need root. Sign in and chat work, haven't had a chance to try voice or video.

I am sure it checks the type of Device you are using to provide or deny access to the Video chat feature. Until Someone can Bypass that check we will have to continue to use it as it is.
