Recently purchased a Note 2 and am very disappointed in the video call quality. Compared to my old iphone, I dont know if it is the phone or what, video calling is terrible. I am on wifi. I have used Talk, skype, tango everything.. same bad result. Could it be that note 2 is too big for these video calling apps? I am thinking about changing back to iphone because video calling is important to me.
What frameworks/libraries exist that can be used to implement video chat/calling, ala Skype, that run on multiple mobile platforms, at least iOs and Android?

Now you will need to chat directly using your web browsers by Voice with high quality voice, and video webcam chat available.
Also you can pop out the chat window with video chat included, and view the video chat in full screen mode.

Qik, the company that lets you stream live video from your mobile phone, is being acquired by Skype, with Skype looking forward to using Qik’s technologies to add recording, sharing and storing of video, along with Qik’s optimised technology to send video over wireless networks.
It’s still a hairy problem for every mobile app developer: how do you attract new users in a hopelessly crowded app store?
Last year, video trailers for apps emerged as one popular for developers (and particularly game developers) to acquire users as Apple cracked down on other methods.
Several companies including San Francisco’s Flurry, which is also a popular mobile analytics provide
