Quote[/b] ]Start crying, Nokia, because Sony's showing off a concept design for its new PlayStation Portable, and it looks like it is going to put everything that's come before it to shame. Here's the scoop: It will have a 4.5-inch, 480x272 pixel widescreen display, built-in 802.11b, 7.1 channel Dolby surround sound, and maybe even cellphone capabilities, play video and MP3 files, and will use special 2.4-inch, 1.8GB "Universal Media Discs." Sony exec Ken Kutargi emphasizes that the final product will look different than the concept image, and that the PSP won't be just one device, but a system of related devices depending on what consumers want to do with theirs.

Also, Sony claims they'll be coming out with a $60 competitor to the iPod next year, which we'll have to see to believe.

I wonder if it will be possible to run any software on that thing from memory cards or something... If not, then it will propably be just another expensive "fun for a while" toy. With custom software and some other features (GSM, GPRS, etc) it might be a nice gadget.

it's funny how this thing has a 333 mhz processor which beats the PS2 233 mhz processor

Damn, this thread is ancient.

Anyone else have a psp?
It´s really cool, never imagined how many things can be run on it.
As of now i have C64, Amiga, GBC, Super Nintendo & Mega Drive emulators aswell as the homebrew ports of Doom, Duke3d and Quake .. just to name a few.
Soonish, if that custom FW update won´t brick it i´ll also be playing my old PS1 games again


Maybe we can use this thread to share some knowledge.

Yes, so why did you dig it up?

btw. i think it´s ok with the mods to dig up old threads if there´s something significant to add.
And what could be more significant than the PSP being released
