I know a few people with three skype phones so will be handy for that and will allow calling to different countries for the cost of a local call (will just come off free minutes) and its certainly a bit smoother and sleeker than the iSkoot app that I had before.

It is definitely Skype. I downloaded it yesterday, put in my username and password, and it showed me my online contacts. I could have dialed or texted any of them quite easily.

Of course, I was hoping to use this kind of application while overseas, using a wifi connection to make a call, as I would using a laptop. Apparently this program won't do that with our G1s. So taking the laptop along will be necessary after all. Not a huge deal, it just would have been handy on the G1.

Kinda lame in a way that you can't use voip ...... Still good in some cases - cheap overseas calls (you can also use calling card for this) or almost free calls to somebody on skype (just using your minutes but almost everyone has unlimited night & weeknds).

This is true not just for the G1 but also for all the other phones which got Skype Light Beta (java version)
