unfortunately, that's the tablet version of Android . It might came later in a n update. Use Tango for now, it's pretty good.

Check out Fring. I don't have any personal experience with it. I believe it used to support video calls with Skype contacts, but then Skype blocked that.

Yahoo messenger works fine, tried it with a buddy on an iphone and it worked great.. You have to download the plug in for messenger to get the video option..

To get the video chat more main stream google needs to update its google chat to work with video on mobile phones. Then android to android video would be great and android to PC would be to. Then the next BIG hurdle would be get that working in apples ios and we can all chat!

I used google talk yesterday on my XOOM and did video chat with a someone on a pc. It was slick. I wish this had that same option.

Come on Google!

There are indications out there that GTalk will support video chat in 2.4 which is also Gingerbread I believe.

ooVoo has a beta video chat out too. I tried it last night, not that bad.

Does "not that bad" mean it used the front- or rear-facing camera?
