CLEO-c hot topics

Selected recent results and future prospects for the CLEO-c experiment at CESR are reviewed. The topics covered include measurements of leptonic and semileptonic charm decays made with data collected at the $\psi(3770)$ resonance and results from a scan of the center-of-mass energy range from 3970 to 4260 MeV addressing the details of open-charm production and properties of the Y(4260) state observed last year by BaBar.
