Max play with the PSP, Damon Itin ‘05

Well the nephew got the PSP (or actually his parents got it for themselves…hmmm) for Easter. This thing points the way to a device that is a book and a toy and t.v. and and ipod and a phone, and a blackberry,and an i-book, etc. Anyway we are getting close and Sony is the best word that means nothing ever.

Ben was posting on if book about the new generation of apple products that may or may not come out. They sound nice, but the PSP is here, maybe not as sexy as a v-pod, but Don’t put on any aires when you’re down on Rue Morgue Avenue…. I can’t afford any of it.

    It’ll be really interesting to see what other kinds of media products develop for the PSP.. The Play Station site says that movie titles will soon be published specially for the handheld format. I can also imagine slide panel comics - imagine reading something like this.

    Right now the Wi-Fi component seems pretty weak - mostly focused on group gaming. You can’t browse the web, or stream media. I guess there could be some podcasting possibilities - download animes to your computer and load them on. Or, and I’m sure I’mn not the first to suggest it… PSPorn?

    PS - love the Gates shot.

    Gives new meaning to the hand held device, does it not?
    I think spiderman, matrix, hellboy and several other titles will be available for PSP… Plus a lot of music videos (It is sony, don’t forget)

    The real issue for personal publishing is when and how do we get a burner for those teeny tiny disks?

    I don’t think this is the magic hardware, but I think it is an easter egg on the path towards the if book.

    Regarding your porn comments, see Wired News for an article regarding this.

    I stumbled upon it while looking for ways to get video on the PSP. There aren’t many movies currently available. As for home videos, it seems that Sony is only interested in supporting Windows users with its PSP Connect product at .

    I found two products which potentially make good compliments to Apple’s iLife media suite. They are iPSP and PSPWare .

    Both are used to sync media files (music, photos, videos, game save data) between the PSP and the Mac.
