i agree with this by the way, though i think they should also support facetime (upvote)

I hope Sony is listening and that the group asking for video chat support on Skype for the PSP is growing! I certainly support and hope for this feature. I would even pay for an app that would do this!

video chat and texting would turn the psp, and psp go into an awesome wifi phone!

If the PSP’s Skype got Video and Text chat, I would be fully satisfied with it.

Not sure why you would want text chat via the PSP/Go’s interface, but sure (UpVote!). Video Chat would be Amazing.

The iphone and itouch can’t even do this yet! Give the PSP a leg up in the industry and make this move!

Skype video and get PS3 involved as well. Home units talking to portable ones. WOW how cool would that be?

If they implement this idea of video calls (now that the PSP camera is out in the US) and text messaging on Skype for PSP, PlayStation would have another major selling point for its portable console. I really hope SCEA is listening because this is a no-brainer. There’s already Skype support on the PSP, so why not make it much more useful and awesome. This is a win-win situation for both Sony and Skype.

With the NGP (Next Generation Portable) just announced with dual camera i have a feeling that we’ll just have to wait for it to come out to get this feature. It’s a bummer. I hope Sony doesnt stop supporting the PSP and PSPgo after it’s launch.
