Skype for PSP conformed?

[Ryder]

I really hope this is true, I would definitely pay for skype, and the fact that you get a year free when doing it on the computer hopefully means you can get it free on the PSP also...that single frame shot is from a video recently put up on the PS Store on the PS3 btw...

This is real I do belive, As for more info, PSP to PSP chat will be free, The GoCam will allow video chats to PC's and other PSP's. No sure about calling Land Lines, though I can't imange it being horribely expensive, Pre Paid hopefully. The app to use this will be called GoMessenger, thats all I know, but a feature I would love is voice to text. That way I could chat with my msn buddys who don't have mics. (all of them lolz) L8er

Link, possibly? Oh and yeah I think I've heard that Go! Messenger name before...

Hey Ryder, these may helpGO! Messanger and PSP is Go! Go! Go!
Man, this would be sick. Alot of my friends are getting the PSP now(since I get one, same thing happened when I got a DS a couple years ago, lol)and this would be so useful. I think that an email system would be awsome too to add to this.

My idea I have been thinking for awhile, why not take advantage of the home button that you can press to always to get to the XMB. Why not have it set up sort of like the 360 where you can access other things through this. Why not also have whenever you have your wifi button turned to on, that people can see that and call(will be sent has a page) and or text/email you. Then when playing a game, an icon will pop up saying that "Blahblahblah would like to chat" or "New Message". Then to see the message/get into a chat you can click the button and choose. What do you guys think?

Wow, now the PSP is a phone. How cool is that? They should include the Skype audio device in a bundle so it works out of the box without a hitch. Here’s the full release from Sony:

Wow sounds great! Too bad you need a PSP Slim and Lite but I guess all the more reason to upgrade!

[Pagnell]

Won't be released as the fat PSP hasn't got enough memory to support it.

[Xphome]

I use Skype everyday so i hope the sound quality will be good enough so i can use skype on my PSP

[t3chn0n3rd]
