If any of you guys do not know what
Skype is, it's a VoIP to make calls and what not. Its used on the computer (obviously) to make phone calls, etc. Mainly used for cross-nation telecommunication such as my family calling relatives that live in Sydney for relative cheap ($10 a month). And it now appears that Skype software is making an appearance on the PSP.
Quote:
The software, which permits users talk to other Skype users for free and supports true telephone calls at a cost, was previously unannounced for the PSP.
Skype will likely be included in one of the PSP's frequent firmware updates, which sporadically add new functionality. Sony has previously released a microphone for the portable, with microphone-equipped camera on the way as well.

To use Skype on the PSP, you have to buy that microphone. I'm not sure on the other details at costs or if they can make phone calls to land lines or just other Skype PSP users, we can just speculate.
It seems like a good idea, but almost useless since most people have cell phones nowadays.
