As I write this my Skype buddy Gaurav Prasad Gaurav Prasad is just waking in India. As he opens the chat message I sent him he will think he is still dreaming.

Gaurav is a Linux freak. He is a major contributor to the Learning Skype’s plug-in Architecture guidebook

I sent him this link. Business Week's coverage of the new Nokia hand-held “Linux-based Internet Tablet”.

How long will it take Gaurav to get Skype up on this platform? How long before he will have the Skype API enabled on it?

Nokia have made a bold strategic move. See it here. How long before we read about Nokia on the Skype Partner’s Page?

One thing is very clear in this report in eWeek. Nokia chose open source because they understand the value a strong developer ecosystem brings to their business.
