They had PSPGPS on ebay which the little GPS receiver goes on that mini usb port.
This has been out for about a year or so but was only released in Japan. They did a homebrew app that works with this for the US so if Skype w/ GPS is compatible then that would be great with is receiver. I like the fact that my PSP can be a GPS. It saves you money for buying a real one.
