I have searched quite a bit but still javen't manged to find a general Jabber client that supports video calling. There are a few that support sending video files though.
No there is no federated XMPP Client for Android that supports video calling. Federated because there many proprietary XMPP Clients that do so, but they work only within their own network. The reason because there is no such XMPP client is pretty simple: Jingle (the XEP which is used for XMPP video calling), is pretty ...

I just got my Galaxy from eBay. The auction said it's 16GB, but I am afraid I was a fraud victim; I'm checking at Settings-> SD card and device storage-> USB storage, and Total memory says 5.01GB. Am I missing something?
My Galaxy S Vibrant has 16 GB internal SD storage, and <code> Settings -&gt; SD card and phone storage </code> reports 12.78 GB. I would assume the ~3 GB difference is due to the reported size being actually in GiB, not GB, and partitioning (the internal data partition is 1.84 GiB as reported by Titanium Backup) and fo...
