I have noticed that, if a person has a Gizmo account, and they have associated a mobile phone with it, you can send them a txt message through the IM interface. Evidently, you can send txt messages with the phone Gizmo5 client, but I don't really use that one. If straight-up IM worked through the desktop (incl. tablet) clients, then that would really be something. I see these apps as very important to the maemo platform. If WIMAX ever actually takes off, then the Internet Tablet can finally move to being a full-fledged Communication Tablet. Thanks for the usage description, Dr. Fred. I need to get my parents a camera for their computer so I can give that a try. As it is, I have only used the voice aspects of these programs, but I look forward to giving video a try. cheers, K -- In Vino Veritas http://astroturfgarden.com
