Send money, import web contacts with Skype 3.2 beta

Skype_paypal We all knew this was going to happen, but now that that it is, it's actually getting interesting. Skype announced beta version 3.2 for Windows and one of the new features is the ability to send money to a Skype contact via PayPal right within the Skype interface. Remember that eBay owns both Skype and Paypal. I use both Skype and PayPal quite a bit, so I'm definitely going to try the new features the next chance I get; no, that doesn't mean you can ask me to send you money. ;)

PayPal isn't the only new feature; also included in the new beta client is the ability to take and use video snapshots and contact importing from Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and Gmail.
