Skype for Vita has been updated to 1.6, which allows for voice chat during gameplay with anyone on your Skype contact list (and seamlessly in the background as you transition between any apps, games, etc).

Also, if you receive a call while in a game/app, it will ring with the familiar Skype ringtone, and upon pressing the PS button, you will immediately be able to answer the call.

Pretty awesome stuff.

Microsoft owns Skype. But, According to the NeoGAF forums SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment of America) is the developer for the "Skype for Vita" app: Skype for Vita updated to 1.6; allows for background use during play (+notifications) - NeoGAF

At least you can see Kobe going crazy in the 4th quarter on the Xbox One.
