    Will it get Skype? There was an ad for a new fitness game for the Wii on TV yesterday, which uses a Webcam to measure your body, and analyse your movements on screen.

    If Nintendo had half a brain, they'd implement Skype now - my other half's Polish, and it'd be very handy to throw the Wii on when she wants to phone her Parents in Poland.

    Doubt it'd ever get Skype but if they had integration with the WiiSpeak channel, that'd be at least be a start.

    I've not heard of anything in that vein though. :(

    a second-hand laptop for 50 euro would do the job. skype is probably not going to come to the wii as nintendo controls the distribution of all software that runs on the wii and skype is not going to write an illegal homebrew version.

    If you take the time to trade Wii friend codes with someone, your relationship is deeper than just cybering...

    Looks like said webcam thingy is going to be used for a Natal-Eyetoy type game soon:
