Is there a new version of mobile Skype available, and does it support Smartphones?

I was browsing the Skype for Windows Mobile forums and learned that they've launched Skype 2.2 Beta for Windows Mobile devices. And further more, not only does it offer enhanced support for Pocket PCs, but it now supports Smartphones as well, and as in previous versions, there is support for lower-power processors.

Key features and benefits in Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile beta include:

* NEW: Support for Windows Mobile smartphones and more Pocket PC devices;
* NEW: Enhanced today/home screen: presence status, event notification (missed calls, new chat messages and voicemails);
* NEW: Proxy support: Supports regular HTTP or HTTPS proxies, and authenticating HTTPS/SSL and SOCKS5 proxies
* Skype calling features: Free Skype-to-Skype calls, support for SkypeOut, SkypeIn™, voicemail and call forwarding;
* User-friendly look and feel: As easy and familiar as using Skype on a computer;
* One-click Skype access: A Skype icon on the home screen lets users view and call contacts easily;
* Multi-person chat: Users can have multichat sessions using animated emoticons. When mobile users are offline, chat messages will automatically update the next time user logs in;
* Enhanced contact list: Users can see their contacts avatars and mood messages;
* Profile personalization: Users can take a picture with the camera on their mobile device and immediately update their profile.

It can be downloaded from here and support may be found in this forum.
