"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."

Finally! I've been waiting for this app to release since day one. No mention if you can use it for instant messaging though...

Most of my friends mainly use skype to chat over the internet so this is gr8 for me however can you also chat with the on screen keyboard with this or does it just support video? Would be a shame if they didn't include text chat functionality

They wouldn't need to integrate Skype, they just need to take a picture and upload it when you lose. Wipeout 2048 already has this, actually. I was excited for a while, but I realized that I know very few people with Skype, so it may not be all that useful to me after all. It's a nice thing to have, though.
