The news of Skype's imminent arrival comes alongside an announcement of the new PSP microphone attachment. This will be released on the 19th at a price of 2,500 yen each (or 4,000 yen for two) and will plug into the USB socket on the top of your PSP, allowing you to chat with your other Skype wielding friends from all over the world. The press release states that the microphone is identical to the one that came with Talkman so we're curious to find out what the reason for delaying Skype rollout was. Still, it's all done and dusted now and we can look forward to chatting with our Japanese PSP owning friends in two weeks time.

Funny, I just got my EU Slim remote and headset, and it does not work. My talkman one does. Skype forums show similar problems for others.

You might notice that A that is not the Skype forum, I figured if anyone cared they would use google, and B he does not have a headset himself.
Clues sir, they were there.

It is not available on the phat, due 2 lack of internal space

"handy for those of us with Japanese import consoles."
You do realize that you can update from any region, right? When the web browser was released, I downloaded the Japanese firmware update and had the browser right away. What's even better, is that everything was still in English since all of the firmwares have all of the languages.

Do I need to get that mic to use Skype than?
I also have an imported PSP.
Or can I use a headset like others in the US?

Good news there.
Just one question, and sorry about my noobness, but is Skype going to work on the PSP Phat or only the on the Slim version?

Sorry, Skype is only for PSP Slims. Sony hasn't said anything about making it available for PSP phats, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
