Although the patent was filed ages ago. Those who own a PSP, if you do a newtork update and follow the prompts you can now install Go Messenger. This allows normal MSN/Yahoo chat type messages to your friends and if you have a PSP 2000 (slim one) you can use it for skype calls as well. PSP 1000 and PSP2000 can both be fitted with the PSP camera which can now also be used as a webcam in voicechat. You need to set up a BT.com account takes 2 mins and your off.
My PSP username is UNDIESRULES if you get yourselves on there, any missed messages can be recovered when people log in later, like text messages.

| Quote: | Go!View will let PSP owners create their own TV schedule from Sky’s line-up of entertainment, sport and movies. Downloading the content, after registering for the subscription service or as pay-as-you-go customer, is done via a PC or laptop.
“Go!View allows PSP™ users to take advantage of a unique service, adding another dimension to PSP™’s offering” said Owen Jenkinson, Go!View Marketing Manager. “The opportunity to watch top TV and movies on-the-go and on-demand will allow PSP ™ owners to enjoy their favourite entertainment on their own terms, enhancing the PSP’s offering as a portable gaming console.” |

| Soon owners of PS3 will be able to port Blu Ray discs over to their PSP too.... http://uk.gizmodo.com/2008/04/01/psp_to_get_bluray_movie_ports.html
| Quote: | Sony has confirmed that owners of the PSP will be able to transfer copies of their Blu-ray movies to the device later this year.
The company is working on a technology called Portable Copy that will allow PS3 owners to transfer Blu-ray movies - a standard def version only - to their PSPs. Still, it sure beats crappy UMDs.
Initial speculation held that the feature would come with the recent 2.20 firmware update for the PS3 but that didn’t happen. Now Sony has confirmed the technology is in development and the first Blu-ray movies sporting Portable Copy will arrive ‘later this year’.
Personally, I think it’s a great add-on. The PSP is already becoming a very versatile device while the increased integration and connectivity between the PSP and PS3 is making them a tough double act to beat.-Martin Lynch
|
On top of this, a new Slim and Lite version of PS3 is expected soon, with the Processor now made on a 45nm process and a new 350g heatsink in development (previous were 700g and 500g respectively) So i wouldnt be surprised if the prices start to tumble soon as well, particularly after the 360 prices came down by 50 quid the other week. http://www.megagames.com/news/html/console/astepclosertolightandslimplaystation3.shtml
| Quote: | During the Japanese Techno-Frontier exhibition, Furukawa Electric Co Ltd exhibited what they called the Third Generation Heat Sink For Playstation 3.
The new heat sink weights 350 grams compared to the first and second generations which weighted 700g and 500g respectively. It comprises of two separate parts to cover the Cell Processor and the TSX Graphics chip individually, compared both of its predecessors which comprised of a single unit each.
This news, alongside with the fact that the Playstation 3 Cell processor has been shrunk to 45nm, might mean that we are about to see the light and slim Playstation 3 come to life.
Furukawa Electric stated that the new heat sink is nearing the end of its development. |
This on top of the messanger service for PSP mean its just getting better all the time

After all, it’s now got Wi-Fi, free voice and video calls with other PSP users in the UK, the ability to sync up with your PS3 to share content, video downloads, and now, most importantly, a glow-in-the-dark face plate.

| Holy cow!! Even more PSP stuff inbound on V.4 software update. This time Google will be fully integrated, so no need to enter the PSP browser and type stuff in, it even saves your last 20 pages
| Quote: | This new upgrade replicates the Google Internet search experience, delivering the same search results that you’d get at www.google.com. And with a search history recall of 20 items, Web searches couldn’t be easier.
After you download and install the firmware on your PSP, click on the XMB’s Network icon and then the new Internet Search icon. Enter your keywords and then let Google’s algorithms do the work. You’ll need to be connected to the Internet via a wireless access point or Wi-Fi hotspot. Googling something on the go has never been more convenient on your PSP.
Another new feature delivered through the 4.00 update is the ability to change viewing speed during playback of videos stored on your Memory Stick PRO Duo, so you can speed through or slow down what you’re watching. To do this simply press the up or down directional buttons while playing a video. Enjoy!

| Its true, telly on yer PSP!! Mint!! 
| Quote: | Sony and broadcaster Sky have finally televised details of their joint subscription TV-on-PSP service, which is now available to the portable console's punters.
Dubbed Go!View, the service enables gamers to access a variety of telly content through Sky, including films. Shows are downloaded onto the handheld Sony gadget through a PC - the system uses the Windows-only Kontiki peer-to-peer content delivery system that underpins the BBC's standalone iPlayer and similar on-demand services from Sky and Channel 4.
Lots of TV shows are already available, including Top Gear, Doctor Who and one of Reg Hardware’s personal favourites, I’m Alan Partridge. There's a focus on BBC and Sky content. Films and sports are available for download too.
Users have three subscription packages available to them: Entertainment, Sport and Comedy. A single package costs £5/€7 per month, while two packages are billed at £8/€10 per month. You can get all three for a tenner a month. Individual shows can be rented for £1.50, and films cost £2.50 each to watch for a limited period.

It costs £100, which is a lot i know, but if you already have a PSP it will give you a GPS with a 4.5 inch screen, and all the kit to fit it to your car, when a 3-4 inch off the shelf version would cost perhaps £120.

I am two minds with this one, i think if they dropped it to 60 or 70 quid i would definately get one.
PSP = The ultimate man-gadget!!!

| PSP 3000 (PSP Mark 3) has now been ifficially announced and on the way, be with us in October, just in time for you to invest in one for Christmas.....
| Quote: | Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it would launch a new PSP handheld entertainment system (PSP-3000) featuring an advanced LCD that further improves the very popular, high resolution PSP display.
The new PSP will be available in stores in Japan, Asia, North America and Europe from October 2008.
While inheriting the basic design and functionality of the current "slim and light" PSP, the image quality on the new LCD screen is dramatically enhanced, and a built-in microphone is added to meet the PSP users' demand to enjoy games and content with voice input functionality without the use of a separate microphone.
Offering the highest-level contrast ratio, response time, and wider color gamut possible on a portable LCD screen, the new PSP is capable of displaying movies and photos in more natural and vibrant colors on its high resolution 4.3 inch wide screen. The new LCD screen adopts an anti-reflection technology, which enables users to see the screen more clearly in well-lit places, even when used outdoors. The built-in microphone will allow users to easily enjoy games that utilize a microphone, as well as Skype and other communication tools.
Further expanding PSP's entertainment capabilities, the video-out port is also expanded to output gameplay in interlace format, which will allow new PSP users to enjoy games on non-progressive TVs by using separately sold cables. With the current "slim and light" PSP, games can be displayed on progressive TVs only.
In addition to the basic "Piano Black" color, the new PSP will also come in "Pearl White" and "Mystic Silver". |
