Skype has embarked on a rather daring adventure to prove that its services can really be used from anywhere in the world and a brave Australian writer named Rebecca Campbell has taken up the challenge by setting out on a 33 -day world-wide trip covering Italy, US, Estonia, China, Australia and about 15 more countries — whoa, that’s like going global with some guts.
Here’s what ITwire had to say on this:
“….As with any “reality” type event, which this seems to qualify as, not that Skype is specifically promoting it as such, there is “a twist”. Campbell “must remain in ‘perpetual motion’ for her entire journey – always moving, even when she’s sleeping”. It even means she needs to be moving when eating – one meal in Singapore will take place in a revolving restaurant!…”
And…
”….The “reality” aspect comes in with “The Nomad” needing to share her trip live on the Internet as she travels, sayeth the Skypesters, and she’ll be fully kitted out with “a variety of Skype-enabled gadgets”, including the 3 Skypephone, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and presumably others as pointed out by Campbell on Skype’s ‘Mobile page…..”
So what has that got to do with Sony’s PSP, you might want to ask? Well, Sony’s PSP also has features that can help strap skype on. The VoIP service Skype is usable on the PSP with Sony’s new Skype Headsets, complete with a remote control and everything.
If the mission takes off and is indeed successful (We have a feeling it will be), Sony’s PSP, among many other devices, is going to be a truly nifty device and perhaps it will be all you will ever need to survive (at least entertainment and communication wise). Imagine being able to use your PSP to communicate with anyone in the world for free or at a very nominal cost? We are already thinking of using my PSP not just to play or even to communicate — we are thinking of running some coaching classes while on the move (Ahem!).
Giving a device a fresh voice to so many internet enabled devices, with skype, is like humanity discovering that it can talk, for the first time — that rush is hard to match.
