Thanks, I actually have tried this already using the following code:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW));
i.setComponent(
    new ComponentName(
        "com.skype.android.lite",
        "com.skype.android.lite.SkypeActivity")
    );
startActivity(i);

The above code executes the skype client and takes you directly to the
contacts list.
I'm wondering if I can pass parameters to it. Using the Log cat, I was
able to pull this information:
06-22 12:18:27.523: WARN/ActivityManager(58): Activity idle timeout
for HistoryRecord{436421f8 {com.skype.android.lite/
com.skype.android.lite.ChatScreen}}

So it looks like I can open the ChatScreen Activity - I also see a
local database stored on the phone.
I bet if i knew the values to populate it with I might be able to open
up SkypeChat through some intent hackery.

So far all I get are NPE and Security denial errors. So it might not
be possible, too bad Skype doesn't have a more responsive community of
developers.

You can open the Skype Lite application using the following:
