It's possible there's something in the pipeline for Android.

However, I've rarely used Skype from my mobile devices since it's easier to just call someone (I'm also more likely to have their number than their skypeID). Also, I've never tried a conference call via the Skype apps. Is that possible?

Yes but this article is about using Skype for video calling. Until FaceTime works over 3G skype seems to be the best solution.
