Phoning you on my PSP

Sony and BT have announced a voice over internet protocol communications system for the handheld PlayStation Portable.
  
  


I've finished LocoRoco, the screen's too small for movies and the machine's too cumbersome to browse the web, but the brick on my shelf formerly known as the PSP has received a stave of execution thanks to a clever business marriage between Sony and BT.

According to last week's news (oops, we're late), the handheld console is to become a communications device, utilising the telecommunication's giant's Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and the machine's wireless communications broadband.

From the press release:


This partnership intends to integrate PSP with the BT Broadband video and voice 'softphone' products already available in the market today. In the following months, additional features will be launched to enable calls and messages to PCs, fixed lines and mobiles.


I guess this answers the question, what do we get that they don't?

Expect the handheld's webcam imminently.
