Note from Auri: I'll be at CES, so if you want to hang out and look at tech, lemme know... Just ping me on AIM: HackingPSP.
Skype, a program that allows you to talk to people for free via the internet, is headed for the PSP, Sony has revealed.
The voice-over-IP client works a bit like MSN, but specialises in voice
transfer; you build up a friends list or simply dial the number of the
Skype account you want to contact, and it works like a phone from there
on in.
Although Sony hasn't given it the whole press-release treatment, the
revelation comes from an easily miss-able mention on their official
site for the upcoming CES show.
"Call friends, talk trash to fellow gamers or catch up with
acquaintances via Skype for PSP system," Sony states. Note, Sony
expects you to talk trash - try having an intellectual conversation
with gamers and the PSP will explode (maybe).
Expect specific details - tech specs and release - to come out of CES
and related conferences, kicking off on Monday. We'll be there to cover
it all, of course.
