No Aswath, I’m pretty sure you can’t send an SMS to an e-mail account (for free that is).

This is important as it means that for skype users who are mobile (and today are not contactable via skype) that one can SMS them. It makes Skype a place where one can contact everyone. From their integrated address book.

But then can one not send an SMS to an email account as well? So what is so special to receive it on a SkypeIn number?

Why would you want to send an SMS from Skype? At least in the US, you can send an SMS via e-mail for free (of course, you do need to know what carrier they use). Either this is not the case elsewhere, or this is just not a well thought out service. A more useful feature would be if you could receive SMS via SkypeIn.
