Has anyone used Skype yet?

No video chat capability via Skype yet (if ever, now since it is owned by Microsoft).

Google Voice/Video chat is a good option and most Android phones should have it with GB update.

Sucks about Skype though since a lot of my international family use that primarily.

Definitely GTalk - I use it now from my GT10.1, HTC Evo 4G and desktop computer. Video and audio quality far surpasses that of Skype in my opinion. Plus now I have full video chat access to same contacts list on all devices. Love it.

I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G running CM7.0.3 and just needed to flash an older version of GApps. Supposedly the next stable release of CM (7.1 I believe) will have a compatable version of GApps included. In either case, if you are rooted it can be down in flash (pun intended).

I decided to gift a tab 10.1 to my dad since it fits his needs.
similarly, i gifted an ipad2 to my in-laws because that's what they need.

we use iphones.
now, what are my options for video calls between the 3 households?
obviously, facetime is the right answer for video between my in-laws and us but what about the tablet?
I tried fring,skype and tango and was not successful with video.

I do not mind paying for an app at either end (on iphone or the tab).

thanks all!

Hi Gordita,

May I ask what type of video issues you are experiencing on Tango with your Galaxy tab 10.1?

Thanks!:)
