Skype on the Sony PlayStation Portable is official, and Sony Computer Entertainment International (SCEI) has released details of the new service on the PSP. What's supposed to be for talking trash to fellow gamers and catching up with acquaintances will have all the features Skype users are enjoying.

It's no understatement when we say every Skype feature will be included in its Sony PSP version. As long as you can connect to the Internet and have a Skype-compatible audio input device, here's what you can do on your handheld:

• Free voice calls between Skype users
• Skype contact list management (view existing contacts, add new ones)
• Skype presence (see which friends are online and available to talk)
• SkypeOut calls to make calls to landlines and mobile phones anywhere in the world (requires the purchase of Skype credit)
• Optional SkypeIn number that lets users receive calls on Skype from landlines and mobiles anywhere in the world (requires the purchase of Skype credit)
• View and modify Skype settings and account details (including username creation, SkypeOut settings, voicemail settings and call forwarding)
