    I was reading some threads where people are having a hard time getting some messaging/teleconferencing/voip apps to work with the cams built into the notebooks. I want to be able to do video Skype and use a Bluetooth headset/microphone with whatever notebook I eventually decide to buy.

    Is anybody successfully using the built-in videocam and the built-in Bluetooth with Skype and does it work right out of the box or do you have to do a lot of driver downloads and tweaks to get it to work?

    Thanks,
    Walt

    Skype was the only program I was able to get the video cam to work with, and yup, worked right out of the box.
    Only other one I tried was Trillian and never could get it to work on that.
