The advantage of a dedicated handheld is that you don't have to worry about draining your battery while gaming.

If you use it as your main communication device you can't play while expecting a call (the Skype app will be freezed or closed when starting a game) and you probably play less to keep enough battery time for calls. With 3G always activated and Skype running, the battery won't get you through the whole day anyway.


Actually non of that has been an issue.

The battery lasts all day with nearly 50% left  if I only game with Skype running. I only have about 1- 2 hours to game in the 11 I am away for work. The only reason I started docking it was because of music streaming. Streaming to a Blue Tooth speaker drained the Z dead, and only left the Z3 with about 20% battery at the end of the day, so I did not expect the Vita to handle that.

As for Skype during gaming. The only issue is PS Now does forces it closed. Otherwise, Vita, PSP, PS1, and PSM apps have no effect. I can receive a call as in the middle of any of them, and go right back to the game without issue. 



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
