Skype video call, the iPhone is the official, is now available (update: Hands-on)
All the signs indicate that it is a release for a few days, but I admit: we are waiting for Skype at CES next week, expect to pull the cover away from what may be the crown jewel of service in the coming months. IOS official Skype client has finally emerging ability to make video calls when the 3G iPhone, iPhone, 4, and the fourth-generation iPod Touch users to share real-time video between themselves and the users of Skype for Windows, Mac and Linux clients with Asus Video Phone (natural 3G users are not conveniently front facing camera, but they still send the video back-facing one). In addition, you can receive video from others when you use an iPad or a third-generation iPod touch. The service is free and works on both Wi-Fi and 3G – and taking account of the current footprint of Skype’s PC, we would argue that this represents a very real opportunity to make the hurt is to use face time. Not a word on when Skype will make a video-capable clients available for Android or other mobile platform, but Skype says that there are “many more” notices in Vegas next week, so we are not surprised. />
Update: So we just gave 3.0 a spin, with the iPhone-to-iPhone (both WiFi), iPhone-to-desktop (both Wi-Fi) , and while the iPhone-to-iPhone (both 3G). The first two worked well, although the desktop camera produces better quality. What is the worst case, the 3G-to-3G video calling, well … We do not recommend it unless absolutely necessary. Video after the break, and be sure to note the battery – about 10 minutes after use, we have dropped 66 percent to 61 />
[Thanks to everyone who sent this] />

Nexus One will get Gingerbread OTA update ‘in the coming weeks’
The original Google phone got us all excited a couple of weeks back when an OTA update was presumed to be the oven-hot Gingerbread upgrade, only to disappoint us. Now we've got the most lucid statement from the Android chefs yet on when the real Gingerbread Nexus One will stand up, which is placed in the relatively ill-defined window of "the coming weeks."

Samsung pulls Froyo update for Bell’s Vibrant after reports of fried internal storage
We have no idea why Samsung's having such a hard time delivering its overdue promised Froyo upgrades worldwide for the Galaxy S series, but it's not looking any easier for them this weekend: the only Canadian Galaxy S to get upgraded so far, Bell's Vibrant, has just had its update pulled. Seems a healthy number of users attempting the upgrade using Sammy's Kies desktop software ended up with inaccessible internal storage, which sucks for a variety of obvious reasons -- and that would be the apparent reason for the removal of the update.

Andy Rubin’s full D: Dive Into Mobile interview video posted
Android boss Andy Rubin almost always makes for an entertaining interview, and his appearance at AllThingsD 's D: Dive Into Mobile conference in San Francisco last week was certainly no exception. The introduction of Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the Nexus S were the official news items of the day, but Rubin took the opportunity to showcase the next version of the platform -- Honeycomb -- running on a prototype Motorola tablet that no one had seen before. He also runs through a breakdown of Android's business model (hint: it's profitable), muses about video calling, and gives us a look at that crazy new 3D-capable Google Maps app

Motorola’s new logo: it’s red
Been wondering about what impact Motorola's January split into two distinct entities will have on your humble consumption of consumer electronics? Well, after attending Moto's big Christmas do in London, we seem to have uncovered one of the biggies: the Droid maker is switching to a crimson new brand identity from the start of the new year. They won't tell us much more than that, but we can only surmise that the slight chromatic deviation will be in an effort to distinguish between the Mobility arm, which will make all the pocketable things we know and love, and the Solutions group in charge of the less glamorous business hardware.

LG pulls back, ‘will evaluate’ upgrading Optimus series to Gingerbread when specs and source code are public
You might remember yesterday's brouhaha over LG's seemingly false claim that Android 2.3 Gingerbread requires a 1GHz processor or better, using it as a justification for keeping an official upgrade out of the hopes and dreams of Optimus One owners around the globe -- but the good news is that it appears to have been a misunderstanding. Here's the official statement from LG: "LG released information prematurely regarding the minimum processor upgrade requirements for the LG Optimus
