I'm planning to try Slide RSS instead, since it sounds like it's better designed for this purpose.
If you go tap on "Glimpse" in the top left corner, then tap "Views" you can uncheck the Top (Left) and Bottom (Left) checkboxes - you will then have a single pane to use.
d) I'm using the TP a lot for Skype video calls, partly by accident because of the annoying limitation that you can't change to offline status for an individual service on the TP, only awkwardly all at once through the messaging app, which takes forever. Nevertheless, I find that I like the larger screen better than my iPhone for Skype video calls, and the sound is better. It also works well in the Touchstone dock on my desk. I'm not a particular fan of the way that Skype is integrated too much into Synergy though - makes it harder to find Skype contacts and Skype-specific functions.
Yeah, I would have liked a separate Skype app as well. It was confusing to set up and use at first. Just Type makes finding contacts pretty easy though.
For the record, I use my TouchPad for everything I need to. Web browsing, email, calendar, games, work (ie, calendar, email, pdf reading, office docs, and soon, hopefully, access to my desktop remotely). Facebook (rarely), Skype, Twitter (again, rarely), movies, music, and general foolishness.
