Suspected: Skype for Sony PSP Coming
Pranav T of PSP Updates shows that PSP firmware points to a not-yet-present Skype program.
"Checking the dump, there was no actual PRX by that name which means that the actual functionality is still being worked upon at this stage. And I don't think anyone's bluffing either. There have already been cases of Camera, GPS, and POPS PRXes being in the firmware long before the functionality was opened up."
They'll have to work out the bandwidth, connectivity, microphones, and audio codecs. When they do, we might see Skype-enabled PSP gaming. Or Skype's most popular embedded consumer platform.
A Skype spokesperson couldn't confirm or deny this story.
A version of Skype runs on the Sony Mylo. Skype Journal's Mylo coverage:
