Yesterday at CES, among Skype's many announcements (Skype on Mobile Internet Devices! Skype Lite in the US! Super Wideband Audio!), my favorite has to be Skype Lite on the Android platform.
The Skype Lite client provides a great way to have Skype with you at all times--it's really nice to use the G1's keyboard for chats on the go, and it's really easy to use your phone's minutes to call Skype contacts and make SkypeOut calls internationally for cheap using your Skype credit. (But do be aware--receiving Skype calls on a Skype Lite client uses your Skype credit, but you can set the client not to receive any calls if you want.)
Here's a video I made showing off Skype Lite on Android's features:
It's available now in the Android Market (just search for Skype). You can also download Skype Lite for more than 100 other Java-enabled mobile phones from Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG by going to the Skype website in your phone's browser.
