Hi, Have anybody tried to compile Wengo Phone for N800? Skype is very contradictive to linux tablet spirit - this software uses proprietary closed and encrypted protocol (closed also means weak); - written using obfuscation in software (decryption and checks also uses additional n800 power and resources) http://www.secdev.org/conf/skype_BHEU06.pdf (http://www.xakep.ru/post/38543/default.asp); - according to latest reports reads sensitive user information and nobody knows why (because software is closed source and obfuscated) and how it can be used by crackers (http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/26/1312256&from=rss). So, Wengo is viable alternative to the Skype.
