Nokia Internet Tablet (previously N800, now N810) is a small handheld device with video call capability. It is a linux-based device with touchscreen, video camera.
The video chat on it is based on Google Talk (you can IM to other Google talk users, and video call with N800/N810 users.)
It connects to the internet via WiFi or connect via bluetooth to mobile phone.
The main screen is customizable, you can have "quick contact" on main screen to see their online status, and make call from there.
Video can be set on/off during a call.
The downside would be its small size, the screen is small and audio might not be loud enough for your kitchen, and video is not very high quality.
