Skype teases video recording and sharing 'as it happens,' inventing synonyms for 'video calls'

It's hardly a secret anymore that Skype will be making some manner of
video-related announcement at CES, but now the company's stepping up
the hype offensive with a series of teasing videos and tweets. The
common thread between the vids is that they're all shot in remote
locations or on the move, eliminating the current PC / Mac dependency
for video chat and forcing our minds to consider mobile, perhaps
smartphone-shaped, devices instead. What Skype's promising is that
we'll be able to share our favorite moments "as they happen," which
together with all this video recording stuff seems to point to only
one thing: video calling on mobiles. Only mystery left now is which
platforms will get it when.
