Sony and BT plan to launch software that will enable Playstation Portable users to make telephone and video calls, and send text messages from their handheld consoles, in a move that will be a first for the gaming industry.
The launch of GoMessenger!, developed by BT, will kick off in the UK in January 2008, and be rolled out to Germany, Spain and Italy, with plans to target Sony Playstation's 8.5 million European users.
Playstation gamers with broadband internet will be able to download the 'BT broadband talk softphone package' for free, from the internet onto their consoles.
