Sony, Skype calling gamers
Story Highlights
Sony's PSP to get ability to make Skype phone calls
Would work anywhere the game console can get WiFi signal
Users will be able to call computers or other PSPs
Sony has partnered with eBay's Skype division and developed a portable version on the VoIP service for the PSP, effectively turning the gaming handheld into a Skype phone -- with the same functionality, as well its limitations.
Here's what we know:
In about 1-2 months, owners of the newer
PSP model (the P-2000) will be able to download a firmware update and secure a free application that will allow users to make free PSP-to-PSP and PSP-to-PC calls so long as both parties are in a WiFi hotspot. PSP owners with the Skype firmware update can also make calls to conventional land lines (or cell phones) off the Skype network, however, a per-call charge will be assessed.
