Video Love for Mac and Linux

Two nice recent video-related developments on the main platforms that aren't Windows--last week the new Skype for Mac 2.7 beta came out, bringing with it 640 x 480 video at up to 25 frames per second (as well as full Leopard support). It's not certified High Quality Video because it doesn't use Logitech cameras with Carl Zeiss optics, but it's certainly a nice improvement over video at 320 x 240.

Last month the latest Skype for Linux 2.0 beta also added video. My current object of gadget lust is the Asus Eee PC, the small, relatively affordable Linux laptop (based on Xandros Linux) with flash memory rather than a hard drive. Skype comes preloaded on the Eee PC, but it's not the latest beta version with video support. If you've picked up an Eee PC and are a Linux novice, check out this video I spotted after the jump that gives a great tutorial on how to install the latest Skype beta and get video rockin' on the Eee PC.

Who woulda thought it: A Skype phone which also allows you not only to make Skype calls wirelessly, but also to listen to music stored on your PC and check your email, right from the handset. Asus's new Aiguru S2 cordless USB phone, unveiled at CES, shows just how far Skype phones have come since the original Aiguru came out last year.
