My only reservation is that you have to be in Skype to 'listen' for incomng calls, so you cannot use your PSP for anything else. So, not ideal for being contacted.
If they could put a background task in place to listen for incoming calls and then interrupt that would be great.
I think Sony's marketing team typically miss brining this information to the public market, and I hope there is a push to advertise these advancements. I would have owned a PSP a long time ago if I knew then what I know now.

- Wow, so much for being a Sony fan. I have a first gen PSP that is becoming more and more of an outdated boat anchor. As with the new PS3, no backward compatibility. So if I want to take advantage of the Sony / Skype relationship, I have to buy a next gen PSP or a Wi-fi phone. I'll say hello to the Wi-fi phone and goodbye to Sony.
