Skype on Nokia N800 is a winner

Mobile device blogger Kevin Tofel is all revved up about seeing Skype running on an Nokia N800.

Kevin spotted this at the Nokia booth, at the Digital Experience show in NYC. We're told that Skype will be on this device in July.

Hey, wait a minute. Tomorrow IS July. (Gee where did June go?)

For me, the appeal of this sanctioned mash-up isn't necessarily Skype acquiring yet another mobile platform, but the the attributes of the N800 itself.

Although I wish it had a camera, the N800 is a portable device with many of the features of the iPhone. Camera, multimedia, email, etc. The cost is $399.99, and you know, Skype or Gizmo (which the tablet-like device is already compatible with) is usually cheaper than Wi-Fi.
