Revision of Skype's beta videophone for Linux looks pretty good from Fri, 11/23/2007 - 15:01

Skype recently released Skype 2.0 beta for Linux, which includes the ability to make video calls, a feature the Windows and Mac versions have had for some time. I tried the beta on two systems running Ubuntu 7.10 -- my desktop PC with a USB webcam and a MacBook Pro with its onboard iSight webcam -- with mixed results.

Skype is too exclusive

I prefer the ACN video phone I have over anything like Skype's etc. All I have to do with my video phone is connect it to my ethernet and turn the power on. I don't need to use a computer, or login to a computer program.

Skype is ok for the tech savvy (which I am) but I'd prefer to use a more simplistic video phone. I plug my phone in and my 5 year old can use it!! She couldn't use anything with Skype.
