PSVita Gets Skype and PS+ May Preview

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that Skype will be releasing today on the Playstation Store! Just like all versions of Skype, it will be available for free on both the Wifi and 3G models. The app contains video and voice calling along with the ability to call landlines, if you feel like paying. The app will also run in background mode, allowing you to play your favorite games while waiting for a Skype call. While Skype may not be that killer app, its nice to finally have the video chat application available to download.
Thanks to the Playstation Blog I have a sneak preview on whats to come this May for Playstation Plus subscribers.
