Doesn't sound like there's much room for a camera.

Then again, with the portaloo, would you really be wanting one?

Doesn't sound like there's much room for you anymore in that Zimmer, Chris.

Is it remote control?

yep ive got skype ... use it for skypeout mostly. soooo cheap and easy. Used it a lot in japan, even just for calling local numbers etc. (that originated from the states, but it was still very useable, and cheap). I never use skype for skype to skype calls ... only for skypeout calls.
