PSP - Skype PSP Delayed In Japan
Some will, I'm sure, recall us reporting on the announcement Sony made at the recent Consumer Electronics Show about the Skype VoIP (voice over internet protocol) service being adapted to the new PlayStation Portables. This would allow people with PSP slims to use them as internet phones under their regular Skype accounts when connected to a hot spot. This is planned to be enabled via a firmware update.
The roll out for this was originally scheduled for today in Japan. However, it has just been learned that this has been delayed just one day before it was expected to be released. The reason? The two first party microphone packages Sony had prepared for the debut did not meet up with the specifications set up by Skype.
"Solutions to enable users to start using Skype features and services on their PSP are being sought for and will be announced in due course," said SCEJ.
Meantime, Sony Europe has stated the service will still come as scheduled before the end of this month. Currently over 246 million people use the service for internet chat as well as making phone calls over the internet to other Skype users and regular phones.
