 BT in UK is going to offer Voice Over IP services for users of the Sony Portable (PSP). An addon headset will enable gamers to connect their PSP to any Wifi hotspot and place their calls using a softphone through BT's network. Zune Phone anyone?...
From PCpro UK : BT and Sony are teaming up to provide voice and video calls on the PSP console. The telecoms giant will provide a version of its 'softphone' for the handheld console, allowing owners to make calls when in range of a wireless hotspot. The service will allow people to make calls and send messages to PCs, landlines and mobile phones. Customers will be provided with a headset to plug into the console. The service will be available to customers from any ISP, and those using it outside the home will have access to BT's Openzone wireless hotspots. Pricing details haven't been announced ahead of the autumn launch. What has this to do with Zune? Zune has Wifi and could be used as a VoIP phone. Actually Office 2007 is designed with VoIP in mind, so the integration can be easy if Microsoft selects to do it. [via PC World ] Related articles:
