Skype previews pre-beta version of Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile
Skype rolled out the gold version of Skype 2.5 for Windows Mobile today. The latest version of Skype's VoIP and chat client for Windows Mobile has been in beta for a few months, and adds improved voice call quality when you're initiating a call from a WiFi connection.Next up?

But the mobile file transfer capabilities sound pretty nice. I can imagine snapping a photo with a cameraphone and shooting the image to a friend using Skype on a computer.

What about video calling? Doesn't seem like too much to ask for since there are already a couple apps out there that can do it already on Windows Mobile phones.

And what about not using the speakerphone as the only earpiece (at least on the HTC Touch Dual)? I don't want others listening to my conversations.
