Go!Messenger: details and release information

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE) new Go!Messenger function, one of the three Go!Services they unveiled during the Leipzig Games Convention 2007, will be released on January next year. Go!Messenger features a whole new arsenal of communications for Sony PSP owners in Europe.

Go!Messenger will be available with a future firmware update and will install a new icon on the PSP’s XMB. Go!Messenger will give PSP users free wireless communications over Wi-Fi, offering an Instant Messaging service and voice chat.

The IM service will feature an intuitive on-screen keyboard. It’d be interesting to see just how intuitive it will be. Video chats will also be available by making use of the Go!Cam. The service will also require a headset.
