Along with the official announcement on the OneNote blog, the team at SkyDrive also posted on accessing SkyDrive through Android, either via this new OneNote app (for OneNote files), or via a number of 3rd party apps that utilize the SkyDrive APIs:
If you have an Android device, we also encourage you to try other apps from partners built using SkyDrive APIs. For example with Browser for SkyDrive or Cloud Explorer for SkyDrive, you can view, access and upload documents or photos on your Android phone. Portfolio for SkyDrive lets you organize and upload photos from your Android phone in batches to SkyDrive.
