From the start it has been clear to consumers and developers alike that the PlayStation Vita hardware allows for just about anything in terms of not only gaming but also connectivity, and when the original announcement of the NGP revealed that the successor to the PSP would host front and rear-facing cameras and support 3G, so the possibilities of video chatting and other VoIP services where a given.
While Skype may have been bought out by the parent company of one of Sony Computer Entertainment’s competitors, Microsoft’s promise of supporting non-Microsoft platforms looks to hold true for the PS Vita. More than a few demo demos have some Skype on the Vita’s menu of apps. After all, the original PSP has had Skype support for several years.
