Sony PSP & Nintendo DS Mobile Phones

Not content with playing games, watching telly and listening to music on your Nintendo DS or Sony PSP? Never fear – you could soon be using it as a mobile phone too.

It’s rumoured that Vonage is in the process of creating an interface that would allow users to convert the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS into internet-powered phones.

Both devices are compatible with VoIP, as they come with microphones and can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. All they need the necessary interface and software – and that’s what Vonage is working on.

Vonage’s partnership with Wi-Fi operator Cloud means that its customers can get internet – and therefore VoIP – access at over 7,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the country – so Vonage stands to gain a whole lotta new customers if it can convince them that their handheld console makes a nifty phone as well as a nifty device for playing Mario Kart on.
