Yes normally you would use the front camera so that the person you are Skyping with can see your face, but Skype for mobile devices has the option to switch to the rear camera if you want the other person to see what you are seeing, such as where you are, your home, etc. Since Skype offers this feature, it should work with either camera. As I said in my original post, the front camera is fine. It focuses perfectly. The rear camera does not. And there is nothing wrong with the rear camera, since it focuses fine when used as a camera (i.e. when using the camera app that ASUS has included).
