Just a day after the official release of Windows Phone Mango in Japan, Microsoft has confirmed that WP devices with front facing camera should be available soon with Skype support. WindowsPhoneNZ has tweeted reporting from TechEd NZ that MS has confirmed that Mango powered devices are capable of front-facing camera and Skype integration.

From past few days number of new Windows Phone devices have leaked in the wild. Front-facing camera has been one of the most expected features by many users and developers. It is helpful for making video call or conference call. You can simultaneously do other work while making a video conference call. Now, it has become reality and we should not be surprised if we see number of Windows Phone show up in database on WP Bench or some other application.

Microsoft could have taken the decision earlier as Fujitsu has already been available in Japan. It is unfair to all those people who have already bought Toshiba Fujitsu IS12T device. Front facing camera with Skype integration will prepare future Microsoft Windows Phone Mango devices to take on Apple’s FaceTime calling application.
