I downloaded the apk and the app runs smooth. The only thing is no video chat. Voice calls work great though.

We basically want to be able to video chat with our grandkids. They have an ipod touch. CS representative told me today that Tango from the marketplace was an app for both the ipod and the Streak. Guess we will be using that.

Also, yahoo messenger has video chat capabilities. Maybe since I'm an old grandma I'm the only one who doesn't know this stuff, but I'm posting here in case it will help others.

I would ultimately love to have Skype with video and be able to use that at all times instead of having to use a different program for every video call we want to make.

So can the streak 7 use skype to make voice calls? That would fit the missing element if we have voip.
