Fresh news today about the availability of Skype 3.2 Beta for Windows. It should be up momentarily.

Seems like even the incremental builds add more features. Some are pretty cool.

Here's what's available in this rev:

Importing contacts from more sources – Users can now import their contacts from web based email applications such as MSN Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. The goal is to bring more IMers to Skype.

Video Snapshot – Users can instantly capture photos of themselves. I don't think I will go there, dude.

Send Money – Integration with PayPal, so that you can not only pay for Skype via its eBay-owned sibling, but send money from your Skype UI as well. With the money you save on Skype calls,  maybe there's some for your  in-between career cousin?
