Wi-Fi calls coming to the PSP this year
Internet voice and video calls are on the cards for some PlayStation Portable (PSP) owners later this year.
British Telecommunications PLC (BT) said last week that it is developing a software-based Internet telephony package for the portable device. The system will allow users to make voice and video calls across a Wi-Fi network. Later it will be extended to cover calls and messages to PCs, fixed line phones and cell phones, said BT.
The PSP comes built-in with a Wi-Fi adapter. Video calls will require the use of an add-on camera.
BT will roll-out the service in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania with the support of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd., Sony's gaming division responsible for PlayStation products in territories that use the PAL television color system.
