Sony's game unit announced the rollout of Skype VoIP services for the handheld would be delayed in Japan due to microphones not meeting specifications.
Problems with the microphone standards are being worked on, Sony said. The headsets, Sony revealed earlier this month, work with the newer PSP-2000.

Skype for PSP was announced in the beginning of the month and confirmed at CES 2008. Today was scheduled to be its debut in Japan. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced that the delay will not affect the launches in the US or EU. Skype is slated to come as a part of the firmware update at the end of the month.
