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

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,

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.

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