Oh, to clarify, I was actually looking to use the phone camera as an input for things like Google Talk and Skype, where the actual connection to someone else would be through a program/browser on the laptop.
I know I can just do them directly through the phone, but I'd love to see my family on something bigger than a phone screen if possible
