Handheld devices that let you video chat over WiFi or 3G networks are the ultimate in personal videoconferencing. So far we haven’t seen much in the way of these mobile videophones here in the US.

British Telecom and Sony have released a free service for the PSP gaming device that turns it into a wireless personal communicator with IM, Voice and Video Chat.

You need to buy an add-on Go!Cam which attaches to a slot in the top of the PSP and download the free Go!Messenger software.

The Sony PSP Go!Cam has a 1.3-megapixel sensor, a built-in microphone and it rotates 180° so that you can point at your face or shoot straight ahead to show your surroundings.

The Go!Cam and Go!Messenger lets you make free video calls to other similarly equipped PSPs and also to PCs with the free ”BT Softphone 2” software installed.

The Video below is a demo of a live video call from the Sony PSP Go!Messenger.
