If you're still using skype, even tho you are sick and fucking tired of skype making shady deals with other providers and not letting you get the compiled 64bit (they provide you with a 32bit binary, even tho they say its for a 64bit machine), and you've installed all the relative ia32-* compatability libraries, and you are getting various odd errors like skype not finding libstdc++.so.6 then, i recommend strace's to sort it out..

not to mention the linux version being at 2.1 and windows at 4!!

So it seems there's no skype for nexus one, presumably because nexus one comes bundled with google chat (which is useless to me anyway)

this is probably because ;

- Skype don't have an open SDK to work from, their idea of an SDK is to talk their application via COM interface, so you cannot easily write an application

- Google are pushing their own agenda's even tho the nexus one is touted as being an 'open platform'

You can read some critism of skype at below links

From their site..There may be problems with getting sound from Adobe Flash v. 9 and earlier, Wine and Skype when these applications use the ALSA protocol.
