More Than a Console: PlayStation Vita Gets Skype Voice and Video Calling

  • The PlayStation Vita and Skype have teamed up for voice and video chatting on the gaming device, which can even receive calls in the background while games are being played.
  • It’s been a while since people predicted that the Vita would attempt to become a sort of tablet device for gamers, notes TechCrunch. This brings that prediction one step closer to reality.
  • “While the addition of the Skype app doesn’t make the Vita a fully-fledged cellphone, the app does support Wi-Fi and 3G WLAN calls and essentially makes the device the N-Gage everyone always wanted,” according to the post.
  • The free Skype app is available in the Vita app store starting today.
