Sony PSP owners to make VoIP calls soon

Sony PSP owners to make VoIP calls soon

While there are way more DS Lite owners than PSP owners around, the latter's numbers are by no means a minority. PSP owners will soon be able to make voice and video calls to other PSP owners and selected BT cellphones via a WiFi connection. The software used will be provided by BT, and there are plans for these to call PCs, fixed lines, and cellphones in the future. The service will initially be available in the U.K. and is not compatible outside of homes and selected BT wireless hotspots. This news is great, but I sure hope Sony remembers this painful lesson - it is games that move consoles, whether they be handhelds or otherwise.
