Skype for Nokia N800

July 2007 • Skype × Nokia

The first ever Skype tablet client

Working with Nokia's Maemo (later, MeeGo) team in Helsinki, Finland, I was the interaction designer for a standalone Skype application on their N800 and N810 "Internet Tablet" devices.

There were some unique aspects of the project in terms of keeping a somewhat familiar Windows feel to the application - it was loosely based on our Windows Mobile app - while ensuring the app worked equally well with the hardware keys and the in-box stylus.
