OK so you're at a cafe in London and you have picked up a few unsecured wireless networks on your laptop, so you connect and then talk to some of your mates/business employees on MSN, Yahoo, GTalk etc. And you're talking about something really important:

Nathan says (13:00): What am I getting for my Birthday?
Emily says (13:01): Well I am thinking of buying you...



And your laptop battery dies! So what do you do? You pull out your PSP and go to m.ebuddy.com. It then loads up a special eBuddy website that is dedicated for the PSP that the real nice guys from eBuddy have created just for you.

Why did they do this? Well according to their blog they are getting more and more people using the normal eBuddy on the PSP:

Every month we are seeing more and more users chatting with our Mobile Internet version on a Playstation Portable. Therefore, we decided to develop a brand new version, specially designed for the PSP ... and we just released it!



So what does it consist of? It has a simple interface that doesn't take long to load and has all the features you need. Sure it doesn't have everything, just the essentials to make instant messaging portable.

The guide is in 6 easy steps and is probably the quickest and most simple way to get Messenger on your PSP compared to other methods. It is really handy and you should check it out if you use your PSP a lot.

PSP Jabber ... a new instant messaging breed
Posted by absorbation on 03 Mar 2006 (5715 views)
Jabber is an open source instant messaging protocol, which allows other instant massagers such as Yahoo, AIM, and MSN Messenger to connect and interact with each other. This means you can talk to multiple instant massagers and not just one at a time. (Remember how MSN Messenger announced they would be compatible with yahoo)

Well PSP Updates reports, that the client has been made compatible with the Sony PSP, all you need is an internet connection to download and use. I think you will like it; I just cannot get my wireless connection to work at the moment.
