De PlayStation Vita is nog altijd een verdomd cool speeltje waar je een hoop leuke dingen mee kan doen. Morgen zal de lang verwachte Skype App verschijnen, en kan je dus dadelijk onderweg video calls maken. Nu nog een update voor de flashplayer van de Vita en SMS support, dan is het toch wel bijna perfect. Wat weer minder is, is dat ze de de E-Sporter Fatal1ty hier voor de promotie laten doen. Maar goed, je kan niet alles hebben.

Update: Volgens het Sony persbericht is de App nu te downloaden. Ik kan het helaas nu even niet zelf checken omdat ik me Vita heb uitgeleent.

Skype is happy to announce that the Skype Video and Voice calling app for PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) will be available for free from the "Media & AppsSocial" category of the PlayStation Store from 25 April.

From then, you can enjoy Skype calls on PS Vita. Now you can keep in touch with gamers around the globe while you're on-the-go as Skype video calling is available for both the 3G and Wi-Fi models.

The Skype app includes free Skype-to-Skype voice calling, as well as high quality video calling that utilizes PS Vita's front and rear cameras. The Skype app for PS Vita also features a "background mode," which allows you to run Skype while you are playing a game or using other apps, so you never miss a call.* Plus, with a little Skype credit you can make low-cost calls to landlines and mobile directly from your PS Vita.

Additionally, PS Vita is equipped with a 5″ OLED touchscreen, dual analog sticks, precise rear multi-touch screen, two cameras and a built-in microphone that can be used with any Skype-certified headset.
