Please let me know when its available. This idea was one of the reasons I bought this thing. So I wouldnt have to use either my pc or laptop. I could put this anywhere and use it anywhere......
Thanks for the heads up

ShankSV says "Not perfect but works check Camera Swap (Best Buy S7-104) ."
I haven't checked it out myself, but maybe ShankSV would share more info.

I can confirm,

Skype does not support video for Android yet,

However, if you do CAMERA SWAP setup, it works with 'Fring' i already confirmed that,

Have yet to check out with Tango, if it can be used,

Fring updated, flip cam icon available and it works!!

Update or redownload fring

Just to go back to follow up on the original part of the thread, last month Skype bought Qik for big bucks in order to obtain their video codecs. Once that is complete and integrated I think Skype will have video chat. Until then, Fring is probably best option.

I can't wait till skype comes out with the new app, should be pretty cool

Skype already have video call in Android, it is working.
BAD is video work just from back camera

On the S7 Slim you just go to settings and choose the default camera - front or back. Then it works perfectly in Skype

Try Tango, works with sound and video
