Hey gang, moaning here on a n8xx mailing list won't get Skype on the n8xx. Please take your moaning to Skype... In the meantime -- use Gismo Project. As far as getting some leverage for Skype on the n8xx goes, when you contact Skype, tell them until they get Skype (and Skype video) on the n8xx, you'll be promoting moving yourself and all of your Skype friends to Gismo Project.
