Sony Announces Skype For PSP, Homebrewers Respond 77
Croakyvoice writes "Sony has finally officially
announced that Skype is coming soon to the PSP. The VoIP service is slated to hit the company's handheld at the end of January. The application will be available via a firmware update and is
only compatible with PSP Slim & Lite Consoles. After the announcement
the PSP homebrew scene released a new application called Furikup which will allow you to make phone calls with your PSP and is compatible with the original phat PSPs."

How many times have you reluctantly had to sign up for some proprietary messaging system, then got forced into using a advert laden badly made piece of software, or less than optimal alternative (hear that Microsoft MSN Messanger and Gaim?) when there are tried, tested and IMO superior alternatives.
Me? I use SIP and have a number of hardware & software phones that work with it at home and in the office... for messaging I use IRC and always have done.
If only Sony would adopt homebrew applications like Furikup instead of tying themselfs in with Skype or some other proprietary vendor.

If your dude123@abc.com and you want to talk to chick456@xyz.com then abc.com will connect to xyz.com for you.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'logging in' to LJ talk from GMail.
You have to connect to the server your registered with to talk.
If you log in to LJ talk and Gmail at the same time, you should be able to talk to yourself just fine.
