there's always the 3rd party homebrew voip potential (might exist already)... oh wait... Sony already threw a hissy fit over that with the PSP3000.. my bad.

get an R4 for the NDS and do VoIP with home brew but QUICK as Nintendo just joined 54 other countries to shut down homebrew on the NDS, too.

I'm eagerly waiting for the DSi to get to America (already "hacked" in Japan I hear...)

Dang. Having a psp phone woulda been so cool. Such a great multimedia device already. Wouldnt think it would be that hard to add phone capabilities. Sony needs to do just do it theirselves and do it quickly :P

Im sure Sony is up to something but just doesnt want to say yet. They're aiming their PSP games towards digital downloading off Playstation Network so getting a game on a phone shouldnt be any different. And now Apple's iPhone is starting to get decent games with the next Metal Gear Solid game and possibly Bioshock as well. Im sure Sony wont pass this opportunity up and let iPhone be the best portable multimedia device.
