Will that work on a foreign continent?  I think I mentioned before that I'm a sort of modern Luddite (oxymoron), but I've heard that DVD's made here won't play in Europe, and vice versa.  While I really do like my N800, I haven't even scratched the surface of its capabilities.  I was unaware that it could be used as a webcam, but that is certainly good to know.

It should. And the DVD thing is because of a region code built into the DVD player. You can buy DVD players that will play any region, and some can be hacked to do so as well.

And you wouldn't be using it as a webcam, it's a computer with a built-in webcam... If you can get a connection, you should be able to use it for video chats.

Take a portable wireless AP with you in case you can only find a place with ethernet...

This is the one I take with me on trips: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=346

Self-configuring and works on many power sources, plus it's tiny. Like a small box of matches tiny.

Thanks Ami, that may be a cheaper and more convenient way to go.

If you want to test it out, let me know. I've been wanting to try the N800 <-> N800 connection for a while. I hear that it works well even over a cell phone connection.

Here's a video demonstrating the video chat on a pair of N800s.

Thanks again, both of you.  I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

Combine the two; download the book onto your N800. ;-)

The word is out: treat the Amerikanski like superman until he marries you, then get a car from him, learn English, and make sure you live in a joint property state. Then you accuse him of beating you file for a divorce and get half his stuff.

Stressful, but better than dealing with drunken Russian dudes.

This happened to an accounting teacher I know. The babe was a Brazilian with a world class pair of enhanced boobs. The entire process took her about seven months.

Perhaps nopt all Russian babes are like this. But some are.
