Skype Functionality For PSPs Worldwide News

Although only PSP Slim and Light owners will be able utilise the service due to memory constraints...
As expected, Sony has announced at Las Vegas' Consumer Electronics Show that the PSP is to get Skype functionality. However, due to a deficiency of system memory on the original PSP model, only the PSP Slim and Light will get the new software.
The new Skype VoIP capabilities will allow PSP owners to initiate free internet voice-chat with other Skype users. The service will be available for PSP owners worldwide and, with the use of Skype credit, PSP owners will even be able to receive and make phone calls to landline and mobile numbers.
Following a system update in late January, the Skype icon will be added to the PSP's XMB in the Network section. However, because the original PSP-1000 model only has 32MB of system memory, as opposed to the PSP-2000's (PSP Slim and Light) 64MB, the original PSP will not receive this Skype compatibility unfortunately.
As Nick Sharples, SCEE's Director of Corporate Communications, explains to Three Speech: "Although PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 are identical in basic functions, there are differences in hardware specifications to some extent and, for that reason, PSP-2000 may differ in features from PSP-1000. We had studied the possibility of supporting Skype with PSP-1000 but had to give it up because of the smaller size of main memory on PSP-1000 series."
