Quote:Japan's Nikkei Net news service has some good news for everyone excited about the Sony PlayStation Portable's upcoming Skype capabilities. The source says the service will launch this month and even gave us a head start on the details.

Nikkei Net says that Skype will only be available for PSP Slim & Lite units. Users can download the Skype program and readily load it to their units. A special microphone will then be used to communicate.

It was also reported that PSP to PSP calls will be free of charge. The same goes for PSP to PC calls. If owners want a dedicated phone number for their PSPs, they can have one at the cost of 2,250 yen (US$ 20.70). That's valid for three full months of use.

This comes after Sony supposedly revealed the new function. There gave been doubts along the way, bit it's mostly looking good for PSP Skype as wee head into CES 2008.

i bet someone will hack it, reprogram/remake so it'll work on phat psp's as well. but who know's how long that will be...

I think they are only making it for slim because of its 64mb ram, the phat only has 32 so it might not be able to handle it.

well, ill get a Slim sooner or later i think

Sounds interesting though

they finally spilled it

I was wondering when they would announce it.

It has been in the firmware for long enough...

but free skype sounds awesome... i wonder if it will do video calls with the camera?

If it does, then 1.3 mp or not, I will have to buy one.

If this is efficient , I might get myself a slim
