The N800 runs Skype at last!
Thoughtfix pinged me this morning (while I was browsing from bed!) to let me know that a software upgrade was available for the N800. My only answer was ‘Skype?’ Sure enough, its there, its a tailored N800 application and it works. This is really great news. He was making a video while I dragged myself out of bed and across the hallway into the office. I saw his Skype presence active and gave him a call. You’ll see it in the video that Thoughtfix has put up. Calling from N800 over 3G (Vodafone Germany) to EVDO (not sure what networks Thoughtfix is on) and Thoughtfix’s N800 worked too although it was a little choppy.
A second bonus is that YouTube is much improved. If you let the video download before playing it, it works smoothly. I suspect that the quality has been cut as the quality you see if similar to the quality under Windows when you set the Flash player to ‘low quality.’
Update: Rhapsody works In Europe! Well at least the 30-day free trial works OK.
