The companies said the software for the PSP was developed in BT's research centre and will be available for download from the web or shared between users. Gamers will be able to keep in contact for free, via VoIP technology, and will be able to send instant messages to each other via a new onscreen keyboard when connected to wireless broadband at home or a public Wi-Fi hotspot.
In addition, the software will enable free calls and messages to various existing BT softphone products, along with paid calls to fixed and mobile phones, while a headset will allow gamers to use voice chat and leave voice messages, and use the Go!Cam video camera to make video calls and leave video messages.
BT will work with SCEE to promote the product in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain initially, and make the service available to regional wireless Internet providers and device manufacturers on a wholesale basis.
