Now You Can Take Your PlayStation®Vita Gaming Experience to the Next Level with Skype Video Calling

Skype is happy to announce that the Skype Video and Voice calling app for PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) will officially be available through PlayStation®Store later today*.

Later today you can enjoy free Skype calls on PS Vita. Now you can keep in touch with gamers around the globe while you're on the go as Skype is available for both the 3G/Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi models. For users in Europe and Asia, the Skype app for PS Vita will be available for download tomorrow, April 25.

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 on PS Vita runs in "background mode" while you're gaming or using other applications** -- meaning you have the capability to "pause" a game, conduct a call and then return to your previous activity -- 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.

Boosting a person's digital swagger, PS Vita is equipped with a 5" OLED touchscreen, dual analog sticks, precise rear touch pad, two cameras and a built-in microphone that can be used with any Skype-certified headset.
