it does work with Skype and in HD; I agree, that it doesn't work "automatically" but you need to edit the XML file and add a Video Tag with Height and Width to get it to work; but it does work, and it is awesome.

I'm certainly no expert, but it appears to be limited to Skype. I don't see enough functionality in it to allow for other VOIP services.

Unfortunately Skype has to be download it as an app, this phone is not capable of downloading apps since it is not a smartphone.

See my review as well. This is not a certified camera. So, you must hack Skype to force it to broadcast HD. However, Skype measures your bandwith and reduces the image quality accordingly despite the hack. Conferencing with a netbook connected over wireless g caused Skype to close the sessions. Voice only was all we could get to stay connected. Windows Live Messenger video worked much better but was still jerky and had some pixelization. Bottom line, the hardware exceeds the software and bandwith capacity.

To be honest im not sure if skype would work. Based on the way its OS works and the limited access to popular apps, i would guess no. And even if u could download it, i dont think it would be practical or even functional.

Yes, you're right, no oficial Skype. BB has it's own video call app, but you need the other party to have BB too in order to make the call. Anyway, it's possibe to install modified Android apps (.bar extensión) to the Playbook, so I did it, and now I can run Skype in the Playbook, of course, only over WiFi.

No. It's not possible. It's 1.4.5 WebOS, you can't get higher upgrade on this phone. To get Skype you need at least 2.0 WebOS.

Yes, it does. Please be sure to update your software to get the most feature and benefit out of it. It's also skype friendly/compatible. Hope this helps.

Skype no longer supports USB capture produces, like Startech, Hauppage, etc. I know this only after wasting a lot of time and $ trying. Microsoft bought Skype...

To use the Skype feature, users must add software to a PC. However, Mac's are totally incompatible. The proprietary software will not load.

Engadget answered the question: "NO""All the cams will naturally do HD chat using Logitech's software, but they won't do it using Skype's. Skype HD requires that its certified cams have onboard video processors to offload the heavy lifting from the computer that's providing the USB port. None of Logitech's offerings deliver that. But, as more and more cams move into higher and higher megapixel territory, we wouldn't be surprised if Skype relaxes that requirement a bit."http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=628313
