SONY, BT and GO! MESSENGER

At Leipzig Games Convention, BT and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe

for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) gaming device.

Set for commercial launch in January 2008, GoMessenger! Has been jointly
developed by BT and SCEE. It will greatly enhance the entertainment experience
for PSP users, by bringing an exciting range of wireless communications features
to the device, including high quality video calls, voice calls and instant
messaging. By connecting to any wireless internet point at home or out and
about, PSP gamers will be able to keep in touch with each other, for free using
the latest in VoIP technology.

The software for the PSP, which was developed in BT's research centre, will
be available to all new and existing PSPs, downloaded simply from the web or
shared between users. It will allow PSP users to send instant messages (IM) to
each other using a new and intuitive on screen keyboard when connected to
wireless broadband at home or a public Wi-Fi hotspot, including BT Openzone
hotspots and in and around city centres. It will also allow free calls and
messages to a range of existing BT softphone products and paid calls to fixed

voice messages, while the attachable Go!Cam video camera will allow them to make
video calls and leave video messages.
