Skype coming to the PSP

pspskypeThe PSP Phone is still being strongly denied by Sony, but in the meantime how about a Phone PSP?

Sony has used CES to announce that it is bringing the popular VoIP app Skype to its mobile games platform, starting with the next firmware update.

The update will add a Skype icon to the Network menu and will support both SkypeOut and SkypeIn to let you make and receive calls to and from ‘real’ phones in addition to Skype-to-Skype chatting.

Owners of older PSPs will be disappointed to learn that the firmware will only work with PSP-2000 devices (e.g. the PSP Lite) but don’t feel too down if you have a ‘fat’ PSP as Homebrew coders Noobz have released Furikup - a free, open source VoIP app that should work with any SIP-based provider such as SIPGate, providing your PSP has been hacked to play homebrew software.
