Skype Coming to PSP
by Chris Faylor, Jan 02, 2008 9:49am PSTInternet voice chat software Skype is headed to PSP, according to hardware manufacturer Sony's CES 2008 page.
As evidenced by this image, Skype is listed under the PSP's system features on the site. The software, which permits users talk to other Skype users for free and supports true telephone calls at a cost, was previously unannounced for the PSP.
Skype will likely be included in one of the PSP's frequent firmware updates, which sporadically add new functionality. Sony has previously released a microphone for the portable, with microphone-equipped camera on the way as well.
The 2008 Consumer Electronics Show runs from January 7 to 10 in Las Vegas. A formal announcement is expected then, though Shacknews has contacted Sony Computer Entertainment for clarification.

Even if it's not in firmware update but a cart and they charge full game price.
I know there is a Voip homebrew but it requires a flashcard and setup it's kinda hard.
