Jajah announces VoIP service for the Sony PSP |
Ó
Among the Sony PSP's list of functions, one that we were beginning to wonder about was its Voice over IP feature (VoIP), given it hasn't really been getting any attention...until now. We have just picked up news that the California-based VoIP provider Jajah Inc. will now be offering VoIP services for the Sony PSP.PSP owners who want to take advantage of the offer will first have to be registered members at Jajah's home site. Once this is done, users are instructed to log in at Jajah's mobile link using their PSP via its web browser and WiFi connection.
The service also carries an address book feature for your contacts - calling your friends is just a matter of clicking on the appropriate link on the web browser. And if you fancy getting the most out of this new service, you may want to get your friends to join, as Jajah advertised that calls between two registered members are free.
Full registration details should be available at Jajah's home site (follow the Via link below), along with phone rate details (depending on your region). Owners of other consoles may want to keep an eye out for further announcements - Jajah has noted that it is working on VoIP compatibility for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii consoles.
Update: The Jajah site has just been updated with a new video showing how the VoIP service works with the PSP. Here's the YouTube video uploaded by netzkobold.

I for one, will be picking up a headset this week. The prices seem about right and I like the idea behind the free usage between members.

Marty had it right "You type in your number and the person you want to call and JAJAH calls you back to initiate the call."

I don't pay for mintues on my cell anyways. I can see how it may help others save a pretty penny.

This has nothing to do with the mic on the psp.
You just use the PSP browser to initiate the call between 2 conventional telephones.
This is about 5% as cool as skype.
In other words, bunk.

I have the SONY headset and figured it should work. perhaps it will take more attempts before I get it worked out but for now, It doesn't seem to fully work. I mean I can call but can't communicate. could be that the servers are very busy due to every PSP owner hitting up the site all at once.

from a computer to place a VoIP call from your "phone" to
another phone" but not from the PSP.
The only reason they marketed it for the PSP is because
the PSP has a web browser and and can visit the site to
do the same thing as with your computer. This is Horse
$h!t!, "No Sir, I didn't like it".
This is truely lame on Jajah's part to say it's for the PSP
when it really don't work as VoIP communication from the PSP.
The only way they get off saying it's for the PSP is because
the PSP can visit it's site.
Other than that, it's junk, useless, @ss Hats for gapping
clowns!
This whole attempt on their part to attracked PSP fan
crowds because they know we want VoIP only to be
let down by false hopes is truely BUNK $h!T and I'll thinik
twice before ever believing a word in one of TIM Y.'s posts
ever again.
You just pissed alot of people off TIM Y. good going.
Test it before you post it, @zz Munch!

hell, gmail just launched gmail for PSP.
every other website in the world with compatible pages just launched their new PSP service.
stop reporting rubbish. especially more expensive rubbish.
voipstunt provide a similar service, along with a full SIP+STUN service, for a fraction of the cost (5cent/hour rather than 3cent/min).
seriously, moderate the article authors. enough of this crap.

Well, the concept is good, but this jahjah is just rubbish. the video is junk, like i said b4, where the microphone and stuff!?! from what i can see its just like ebuddy (messenger)
A homebrew VoiP app (like a port of skype or something) would be good, but that sounds hard (getting a mic and all going).

everyone wants vo ip
when this popped up everyone was excited but got their hopes down when they relized what it really was
so someone please create a hombrew voip app
i know that online is te next step for hombrew its been done in one app
getting the mic to work would be hard
theres a voice recognizer app out there so maybe you could use something from that to help get the mic part started
the real challange is gettng the mike to workbut i know its possible
