(GameTap.com) — The consumer electronics industry has for many years now tried to shoe-horn a game (some would say game-like) experience on the mobile phone device, but this year, Sony swims upstream in the same waters. It has taken the PSP handheld game platform and turned it into a mobile phone — albeit with limitations. But the value proposition for consumers is win-win.

Newer PSPs will be able to make Skype calls from anywhere there is a WiFi connection.

Sony has partnered with eBay’s Skype division and developed a portable version on the VoIP service for the PSP, effectively turning the gaming handheld into a Skype phone — with the same functionality, as well its limitations.
