Published January 7th, 2008


(TP) Sony has confirmed that it is adding Skype features to its PlayStation portable gaming device. Registered Skype users will be able to make free voice calls to other Skype subscribers over the PSP, view and manage contacts, see which friends are online, make SkypeOut calls to landlines and mobiles and use their SkypeIn number to receive calls. PSP users worldwide will be able to start using Skype features and services through a system software update scheduled in late January. After updating the PSP system software, a Skype icon will be added to the Network category in the home menu. PSP users who do not yet have a Skype username can register by clicking the icon and following the instructions. PSP users who already have a Skype user name can immediately sign in by clicking the Skype icon and entering their user name and password.
