http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-vita-tomorrowChatty video and voice app Skype will be available to download on PlayStation Vita from tomorrow.
Natter-loving Vita owners will be able to nab the software for free from the PlayStation Store.
Skype on Vita can run in the background while you play games and will alert you if you get a call. Answering the call then switches applications, pausing your current activity.
You can also choose to chatter using either of the Vita's cameras: front or rear.
Sony warns that Skype can't run while playing games that disable your network connection during play, and adds that calls may require a Wi-Fi connection in some countries.

Yeah cause its much easier and accessible because i can talk (make a video call) on the go whereas the vita isn't as portable as my phone. Originally Posted by LfCpS3

I have an iPhone I used for Skype which is only 3.5" screen. Now I can Skype with a 5" screen
And I Skype often with my parents who live in Florida. So I will certainly benefit from this.

who cares man. If you don't wanna use it then don't download it? Skype coming on the Vita doesn't take away from games being developed/coming out for Vita... Originally Posted by three3-times

AND it's 3G calls anyway. With an unlimited plan you can get free calls anywhere! Of course, not in the US since I think it's capped, right? All we need now is Whats App *beg, beg, beg*. Originally Posted by Lethal_NFS
