Well, my new Android (HTC Desire) phone has no Skype yet... :(
I also couldn't find it on the market...
But anyway, thanks to the smartphone industry, skype can grow very fast 
and MSN won't be attractive anymore.
In that case, new users can easily swtich to Ubuntu without missing the 
important apps.

I don't like MSN because it first loads Live! or something which is 
eating all my RAM and takes minutes before I can use it :(

And it won't be, the opensource skype is just the client and it's 
limited, as far as I know.
