Get Ready to Skype

According to Sony’s Consumer Electronics Show website, PSP users will be able to talk to friends via Skype. Sony will implement another firmware update for the handheld console and it’s anyone’s guess when that will happen.

Sony is doing its best to squeeze every ounce of usage out of its entry into the portable gaming world. The recent addition of internet radio to the system has done little for its popularity. Nintendo DS is outselling the PSP and the advent of Skype will unlikely balance the sales scale. However, Sony deserves a few points for actively seeking out new uses for its hand held unit.

If you want question Sony up front and personal, swing by their booth at CES 2008 in Las Vegas starting on January 7th, ending on the 10th.
