Sony has
revealed plans to add
Skype
capabilities to its PlayStation Portable console.
The company has promised to make a formal announcement at
CES in Las
Vegas next week.
The VoIP service will allow PSP users to "call friends, talk trash to fellow
gamers or catch up with acquaintances", according to Sony's website.
It is not clear whether Sony will make Skype available to PSP gamers beyond
the US.
The company has previously outlined plans to make its Go! Messenger service
available to European users in a joint venture with
BT, offering video
calls, instant messaging, voice chat and voice messaging.
Sony will be hoping that the announcement steals the thunder of arch rivals
Microsoft
and Apple.
Microsoft is widely rumoured to be considering an HD-DVD add-on for its Xbox
360 console, while Apple is likely to unveil a much talked about sub-notebook at
the upcoming
MacWorld
Expo.
