| I hope this takes off in the UK, it would be mint, free wifi for owners of PSP wherever you are.
| Quote: | Sony and Fon are going to work together to give Japanese PSP owners free WiFi access across the country
Japanese Sony PlayStation Portable owners will be able to become "Foneros" after Sony and WiFi provider FON recently announced they will combine forces to make it possible for PSP owners to have free internet access.
There are more than 44,000 FON spots spread across Japan, with at least 2,000 specifically in Tokyo, FON said. Sony will contribute by releasing a new Internet browser for PSP owners to use when they connect to a FON WiFi connection.
Japanese PSP owners who connect to a FON WiFi hot spot will be able to download custom Dissidia: Final Fantasy themes, for the latest game in the series expected to be released in December. Gamers also will be able to download game demos, wallpapers, themes, and video game clips.
For the time being, this is a FON deal exclusive to Japan only, and Sony did not state if the company plans to extend this to other markets.
The Spanish-based company made headlines in 2006 after gaining support from Google and Skype with the idea of letting owners share WiFi hotspots using "FON Ready Routers." Those users who don't want to switch out their routers only need to download and install a firmware update that will make their router FON compatible.

| Official launch for PSP 3000 in Japan is October 16th, which will probably mean the UK launch will follow soon afterwards, just in time for Christmas??
It looks as though it will sell for the same price as the current PSP 2000 (the slim one) model, which may again force the price of PSP 1000 (the fat one) as the last one did. The newer features include a faster and better screen, and the inclusion of a microphone, where previously the use of a headset with built in mic has been required for Skype calls. Video Out functionality has also been improved so it can also be viewed on an analogue telly.

| PSP spftware update to version 5 is on the way, though tbh it looks a load of dog-egg. Its just an extra 'app' which allows you to buy stuff 'a la' Ipod, from the company store, whoopdey doo!!!
| Quote: | Sony announced new firmware updates for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Portable for late October. Firmware version 2.50 for the PS3 and version 5.00 for PSP will provide new functionality the two consoles currently do not have.
The PSP firmware version 5.00 will allow you to sign up for the PlayStation Network and access the PlayStation store using your PSP. It will be possible to download games, demos, and trailers using your PSP while connected to a Wi-Fi network. The update also adds a sleep timer option that can be used while you are playing music on your PSP. A full screen keyboard option for text entry and a redesigned background for the XMB are also included in the firmware upgrade.
The PS3 firmware version 2.50 will provide support for the official Bluetooth PS3 headset. The update enables High-Quality (HQ) mode, which delivers clear and wide-band online voice chat. An added on-screen indicator shows battery status, volume level and use of HQ mode.
An in-game screenshot tool will be added that allows gamers to capture their favorite gaming moments. This feature will be supported on a game by game basis. Video functionality has been improved with the addition of a Scene Search feature similar to the feature on the PSP. Activating this feature while viewing a video on the PS3 will allow you to break up the video into scenes that you can access by pressing the X button. You can break the videos into one, two, or five minute intervals.
The wireless controllers for your PS3 can now be set to turn off automatically after not being used for a set amount of time. Another power saving feature is it will now be possible turn off the PS3 automatically after a background download or installation of content has completed.
Other miscellaneous improvements include an improved interface for The PlayStation Trophy Achievement system. A redeem codes option has been added on the PlayStation store to make it easier to redeem your PlayStation Network Cards and promotion codes. Finally, the status of your offline friends on your Friends list will be visible underneath their avatars, showing how long it has been since they were last online. |

| Is PSP2 on the way? I like to think so, but then, TBH the PSP as it is, is a top bit of kit. It has all the gadgets attached that you could need and can be charged from an AFV in less than an hour 
| Quote: | Imagination Technologies Group, licensor of graphics processor cores, is rumoured to be working with Sony on the latest iteration of the PlayStation Portable.
The company recently issued a press release stating that it was working with "a major international consumer electronics company", which is now rumoured to be Sony, according to EETimes.
Citing unnamed sources, the announcement is for an upgrade to the "PSP2" says the report, but Imagination would only state it is for a "high-volume consumer device".
Although the report mentions PSP2, it isn't clear whether the technology would be for an entirely new iteration of the handheld hardware, or a remodel of the orginal, such as the PSP 3000.
Imagination Technologies' licensing partners include Sega Sammy, Intel and Samsung.
Sony Europe has told GamesIndustry.biz that it will not "comment on rumour and speculation". |
