Skype with video working :D :D :D

[Guest mmick]

I have just tried on LiquidNext (Android 2.3.5) the new Skype version:

Skype v2.1.0.46 v08

and it works very very very well with video. I tried (over wifi) LIQUID <-> PC and impecable! NOTE: you have to enable one option about dark screen on the "advanced settings".

Of course our beloved Liquid only has one camera, so you can´t see the other person while she sees you, but it´s excelent you can do video to show yourselve or any other thing (like stuff at work, your new apartment, your baby, etc)

Another thing that can be done is a mirror so you see the LCD thru the mirror (and the other person...) and the other person sees you :)

Issues:

- sizes above QVGA only do (digital) zooming) doesn´t increase quality

- no focus/auto focus. The image is not well focused (though it is more than enough, IMO, to do calls Phone <-> PC

Other than that I can´t complain :)

Thank you for the news!

But do you start a video-chat using your liquid with skype or using your pc and your liquid as a webcam?

btw is the audio working? I mean, can you speak with the other person?
