That's cool. Too bad I don't have a PSP. I love the Skype program and it's good to hear that it's available on a portable gaming machine.

Not for DS
Yeah, Skype rocks! Its video calling is just awesome (at least on my macbook). I Use it every day for work and communicating with friends all over the world. It is soo much better than MSN or Yahoo.
For christmas, it's hard to choose what to add the christmas gift listing, iPod nano 4th or zen x-fi?
Besides, it can put tv shows on ipod and play ipod on tv, the most important, without apple tv, that's really great, may be I should get iPod.
How can I put the Skype on Ps3 just as on psp ?
Thanks
