Sony says Japanese PSP Skype service coming this month |
Ó
Sometimes, it pays to wait patiently for a service to be made available to you. After having gone through a bit of a delay due to microphone issues, Sony has announced that it will make the PSP Skype service available to users in Japan sometime later during this month.
Apparently, the very same microphone that failed to meet Skype specifications has now passed the requirements. It may now be sold, but on one condition: that it be sold with the recommendation that it be used within 10 centimeters of a user's mouth.
Sony's plan is to start selling the Skype microphone on March 19 in Japan for 2,500 yen (approximately US$24). The web-based phone service is Sony's bid to boost the appeal of its PSP, which is reportedly running behind the Nintendo DS in terms of sales in Japan.

So will this be Firmware 4.00? If so there beter be more than just japanese skype. I wonder how this will affect Japans DS sales.
AFAIK, this is for 3.90. ^^ I find myself wondering, too. Let's wait and see, then.
Does this mean that 4.00 is comming out this month or will the keep it with 3.91.
I think they will just call it 3.91, but if it actually is 4.00 it better have a lot more in it. Like a builtin calculator, paint and notepad. These are the most basic things they need to implement.
