Hello, I'm sure you've received a few emails about this already, but I
was wondering if you were ever going to release a video-chat
application for the 3DS? I've really wanted to use my 3DS to talk to
all of my friends, and they though it would be really cool too. I even
showed them my mock-up image for Skype on the 3DS, that I've attached,
and they thought that Skype would be a good application for the 3DS,
as it would allow them to chat not only with 3DS friends, but
real-life friends, as well! And for people who can't afford phone
service, it would help them out, too, as they might be stuck at a
McDonalds (or some other location with free WiFi) and have no
transportation, so they could just flip open their 3DS and call a
friend for a ride. But, I'm sure you don't need to talk to me to see
the benefits of having some sort of video-chat application for this
awesome little system. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
(By the way, how did you like my mock-up image? It took a bit to make
it, but I like the results!)

Hello,
Thanks for contacting us about the Nintendo 3DS. Regarding Skype, we aren’t aware of any plans to include this application on the system. Great job on the interface mock-up though. This does sound like a fun idea and I’ll be sure to document your interest in such a feature and share it with other departments to use as they see fit.
...
That said, there is plenty of other built-in software for you to play on the Nintendo 3DS. To learn more about them, please visit our Nintendo 3DS-dedicated website. I’ve provided a direct link below:
