There’s no news yet, but N800 owners who aren’t super-psyched about Google Talk or that open-source voice chat software can soon celebrate the arrival the mother of all voice chat, and yeah, I’m talkin’ ’bout Skype.
I’m getting ready to leave NYC and the Digital Experience show, but had to share one tidbit before leaving. Among the many booths I stopped at was the Nokia booth. The big news there wasn’t a new device, it was a service, and that service is Skype! It’s been a long time coming, but Skype support for the Nokia N800 is right around the corner.

Not having to manually “add to dictionary” is a nice touch (no pun intended), especially when typing in web addresses of sites you frequently visit. (Careful though as it will also remember your typos.)
