Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has revealed some new and somewhat practical bits and pieces for the PSP. You remember, that console that came out in Japan and the US ages ago and you sometimes see people playing on the tube?
The first and perhaps least interesting bit/piece features slightly re-worked earphones, now available in a few different colours. So now you can, you know, listen to games and movies and music in new colours or something…
The last and possibly most interesting piece/bit is the actually very useful satellite charger for the PSP’s battery, the source of much contention over the past few months. The device plugs into the wall and charges the power cell in an hour and a half, somewhat faster than the two hours and 20 minutes charge time previously offered.
And that’s about it for now. SPOnG expects these items to be made available alongside the PSP when it launches on September 1st in Europe.

Well, if the sales keep up as they are and third parties are slowing noticing that. Iwould say to Sony, pull the plug on the gaming part and promote the movie-music part.
The DS/hackers is/are slowly sucking the life out of it...it's getting to hard to look at.

I don't think PSP would survive as just a media player next to the 100gb likes of the Archos range of players and other in the pipeline. The fact it plays games gives it the edge over them already.
Don't let the fact the DS is used by hackers and the like put you off some good gaming becuase the PSP has also been hacked too. I'd be silly if I bought neither and missed some cool games because of hackers. Remember while some use such abilities to produce their own homebrew games etc the only way to combat real piracy is to buy legal product, be it official or import, making sure the developers etc get their cut.
Hacker and pirates never stopped PSone, PS2 or GB from shifting loads.

I'm just going to hold on for that Zero-Point Energy power cell I read about on Gamezdailee.com or GamezIndustrie.biz or wherever it was. One of those really, really reliable "sights".
Maybe that low power Transmeta LongRun tech I read about here might materialise first.
