   I am VERY happy with my 7" Galaxy Tab. Nice size, !android OS, 2 cameras, 32GB of flash (incl. SD), tons of apps. Now it needs !skype video

     @stav pssst... skype is proprietary software... as I understand it there is non-proprietary VOIP

     @stav can't think of a use for it that I wouldn't rather use either a smartphone or a laptop for. Apart from a fancy media centre controller

     @laurelrusswurm I never use !skype for voice, only videoconferencing. Is there a FLOSS equivalent?

     @stav Nothing comparable. No matter what some people will undoubtly say....

     @rpcutts When a laptop/netbook is too big/bulky & smartphone screen is too teensy for aging eyes, 7" tab comes in very handy

     @marjoleink Very impressive. But not a single !android videoconferencing app, unfortunately. Will you write one for me?

     @stav Probably 200 of them. Of course, none of them work worth a damn but FREEDOM!

     @laurelrusswurm There is. There's EKIGA, which adheres to SIP standards https://www.ekiga.net/

     @marjoleink FYI SIP calling is built in to Gingerbread.

     @mcg great - does that include video conferencing then, like @stav wants?

   • Matthew Gregg Marjolein Katsma

     @marjoleink Just voice, as far as I know, no FLOSS equiv on Android.

   • Marjolein Katsma Matthew Gregg

     @mcg and does it require that both parties have Adroid Gingerbread? or could the otehr party use a different client?

   • Matthew Gregg Marjolein Katsma

     @marjoleink It's just SIP. You need a compatible SIP provider is all.

   • Marjolein Katsma Matthew Gregg

     @mcg sorry, what's 'provider' in this context? and does it include video or not? I know very little about SIP

     @marjoleink The server component, Gizmo5, Callcentric, or your own Asterisk install.
