trinifawk 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Sony has confirmed that PSP users will be able to run Skype on their PSP devices, and make free calls to other skype users and free calls to landline users. The catch is, of course, that you'll have to be in range of a wifi connection to enable this feature. The firmware upgrade is expected to be released in a few weeks time, and will only be for the new psp slim, which was released last year. Does anyone think that this is going to be a good competitor to the iPhone? It certainly has me interested in it. Sony also announced that they will release the Go!Explore GPS device to North American and European customers after a year of Japanese exclusivity. The device will allow PSP owners to use their device to navigate citys and might include some in-game functionality as well. Although Sony hasn't revealed a retail price, the unit is selling for the equivalent of $40 USD in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently owned a PSP generation 1 and bought a mic that able to plug into. Did read some articles that the currently PSP generation 1 are able to do a VoIP calls out with the upgrading of firmware. Not an official firmware though. BUt still haven't really got it to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
