Before you get too excited the image below is a fan-made amalgam
using pre-order graphics and does not represent official game artwork
for the new games skins. As Rocksteady/Warner Bros have still not yet
released any official images of the skins included within their
new Batman: Arkham City game.
However to date there are expected to be six skins available within
the game but this could increase as the game gets closer to launch.

It looks like Skype, which was recently purchased by Microsoft is
looking to bring video calling to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 platform,
as a recent job posting mentions the following ‘building and optimizing
the Skype Video Engine solution for Microsoft Windows and Windows Phone
platforms.’
Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Mango offers support for front facing video cameras, so it would make sense for Microsoft and Skype to offer video calling on Windows Phone 7.
There are no details on when Skype with video calling will be
available for Windows Phone 7, but we suspect it may be before the end
of the year.
