Sony Kills Go!Messenger VoIP Application

sony-psp-go-messenger-voip.jpgSony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced that it plans to shut down Go!Messenger, a VoIP, video chat, and IM application that launched last February. Citing a lack of interest, Go!Messenger was an intriguing PSP app that leveraged the PSP Go!Cam camera for its video chat capabilities.

Sony explained "Although it proved a popular concept, achieving a significant number of registrations, it didn't gain the number of regular users that BT and SCEE were aiming for."

Go!Messenger will end on March 31. But all is not lost. Skype for PSP still works, but it's too bad Skype for PSP doesn't support the Go!Cam for some Skype-to-Skype video chat action.

If sony can kill such a superb VoIP application what will be the future of spirited VoIP applications i.e Jajah, Truphone, Vopium or Nimbuzz?
Where at the same time VoIP is getting popularity and more and more companies are signing in..
