Good Idea-Bad Idea time at SONY: Skype's Emergence or is that dominance

Now I have been using Skype since it first since roughly fall 04 or so. I have to say it is quiet an easy program to use. It is now available on all three mobile phones in the Republic meaning you can call off your phone via skype for free, provided the other person is online. Sweet. I also have it on my E65 and I can vouch for its integrity and usability etc. However I have one question for SONY and their plans to add Skype to their PSPs, how the bloody hell are you going to be able to use it? Surely it will look like a complete brick up against the person's ear, and whilst I do recognise that there is a certain nostalgia at the moment around all things from the 1980s, Brick phones are not really that practical. BT seems to have had a similar idea as well last year. Perhaps this is where SONY got their plans from, but in any event, the PSP does not look nice as a phone! Make it simple! Don't make it any more complicated!
