Europeans can now use Skype on their PSP

News just released from the Skype Blog :

Earlier this month, we said it’d be available later this month.

If you’ve got a Sony PSP Slim & Lite and have been waiting since CES for a system software update so you could make Skype calls, now is the time to act. All you need to do is to upgrade your handheld’s system software to version 3.90.

With the update, just announced by the Sony folks in Europe, PSP Slim & Lite users can make free voice calls to 276m other registered Skype users, see which friends are online and available to talk.

Also, if you have a bit of Skype credit lying around, you can use your PSP to make cheap SkypeOut calls to call landlines and mobiles anywhere on the home planet.

Oh, and please make sure you’ve got a live WiFi connection, or that Skype conversation will remain as elusive as decent Estonian stand-up comedy.
