Skype’s been on cellphones and portable devices for a while, but it wasn’t until recently that they included video. Problem is, Nintendo’s DSi—although equipped with a front camera that captures video—only has a 133MHz CPU. The weak processor is enough for games, but is it enough for video chat? Perhaps Skype only meant that it could support audio chats, which would be disappointing, what with that camera always staring you in face while you talk. [TechRadar]
