SoJust updated Skype from the Market, hoping it would finally support video chat for the Droid 3, but it doesn't appear supported still. What gives? I was really looking forward to the front facing camera, but still not Skype support for it.

I was looking forward for Skype but I guess we will just have to sit back and wait. I tried Yahoo but the front camera doesn't work on it, and the audio was.....well...my ears are still sore from the quality. But I still have hope for the phone and its future. I am well impressed with it so far.

I got my skype update yesterday. I was disappointed that the motorola phones weren't on the "newly supported device" list. 
There was a check box to "enable video chat" and it even had the ability to choose Front/rear/no camera. BUT, the D3 isn't a listed "supported" device although they give the disclaimer that if you have Android 2.3 that it still *might* work despite not being on the list.
I tried it. The quality was poor on 3G and not that much better on wifi. I could see the person on the PC, but they could never see me, and I could never see myself in the thumbnail spot where my own image should have been.
I was actually kinda surprised that it's designed to work with video in landscape mode.
I hope it gets better.

Tango works pretty darn good. Perhaps that is why it has so many downloads. Not to mention you are guaranteed video across platforms to iOS users as well.

Once Skype releases a working version for our D3s, I'm sure folks will post the good news here so we can all get the latest and greatest version.
