PSP update: Skype goes live |
Ó
For those who don't know how to access Skype using their handheld, De Leon posted a pretty good guide on how to do so. Here's the guide as taken from the PlayStation Blog post:
- Download and install the 3.90 firmware upgrade to the PSP-2000 system.
- Connect the PSP to the Internet at a Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Attach a PSP Headset and the Remote Control from the PSP-2000 Headphones to the system, and insert a Memory Stick Duo to save the Skype application software.
- Access the Skype/Sign In icon within the Network category of the XMB menu. If youÂ’ve never used Skype on your PC, you can create a free account directly on your PSP. If you already have a Skype account, you can simply enter your username/password.
- To make a call, either access the Contacts icon and click on a name or scroll to the Dial icon and use the keypad.

Skype for the PSP has been live since the firmware came out.
Any chance of this coming to PHAT PSP? Or is it not possible due to amount of ram? Thanks.
Wait for DaX or someone else to hack it, I'm sure it will work.
COMON! GUYS FURIKUP IS THE SAME *****! Just less fancy and so problematic to use that u even don'y whant to use it!\
GeeZ!
PSPMAN90
They should just get rid of the location free player and put skype and it will work for PSP Fat.
Sony once again rip us off. like the PS2 PS1, yeah first lunch gets the buckly *****.
many people use the location free like me... of course many more people will use the skype but for me.. watching tv in college when I have to wait to another class is priceless... and I have all the channels sooo...
You do know that Sony is trying to make the handheld into everything put together as in being able to call people and such and GPS, camera, I see the PSP as a great device where I only need it and nothing else.
Oh yeah by the way, the reason they don't take location Free player out is cause the PSP and PSP SLIM is supposed to be an all in one device.
You will keep on seeing this from Sony because this is the all in one multi media device with everything and PSP2 will have even more stuff like a PDA and such.
Some of us like these features in our SLIMS, so don't be angry cause you got the bad end of the bargain. You should have gotten the SLIM aswell, since you have a phat. Slim is better in alot of ways.
I agree with you and especially with ANUBIS X's
statement about the "all in one multi media device".
I agree and I love it. This is what I've been waiting
for the industry to produce.
All the PSP2 needs aside from what the PSP-2000
already has, what's already set for future fw
updates, what ANUBIS X said about the PDA
functionality "hopefully a Windows Mobile OS" or
close to it and this list of upgrades:
Dual analog sticks
Four shoulder triggers
Built in cams Front/Back
for both taking photos and video calls.
Bluetooth
Higher sys RAM
Built in HDD and a "Higher Storage Medium"
like 64GB Pro Duo and up.
And while I'm at it I'll add one small thing :)
It's been on my wish list for a few years now.
It's called "LED Projector".
It's a Video Projection System that runs both
Cool N Quiet and Energy Efficient and happens
to be no bigger than a Chocolate Mint.
Something like that placed in the PSP or even
as an add on like the GoCam once was,
wait.... still is.
Then I believe you might be one step closer to
an "All N1 Device".

This technology is called several things:
Mini Projectors, Micro Projectors and Nanoprojector
"which you will find the best hits with".
Have fun checking it out.
and always think BIG!
If you think thats cool check out "HelioDisplay".
yeah all this would be cool, but this has 2 BIG disadvantages:
1. the price. would be over 500 %u20AC ( or 750 $ or whatever, i don't have the exact exchange rate :p)
2. the battery. It will run out in like..... 2 minutes.... ok, that is a bit exaggerated, but it will run out damn fast.
Is Skype Free? anyone can you make free phone calls with Skype?
I gotta get me a PSP Slim now!! Are the calls free (not including Internet costs)?
