The PSP suddenly an interesting device for Pervasive Gaming?!?
Most of the time I pay little, if any, attention to the PSP. Simply put, I’m just not interested in what Sony has decided that this device is all about. Via a slew of announcements, this week and last, it now appears that Sony might be changing their mind about what the PSP is all about. Accordingly, I might be getting interested in the device as a pervasive gaming vehicle.
Here’s the run-down of announcements (via Joystiq & Kotaku):
- The US version of the PSP to get hardware, firmware, and software support for GPS…or you just hack it and add your own GPS support. (Is there a good PSP WiFi triangulation solution?)
- Skype coming to the PSP. (Skype SDK support?!?)
- 16GB MS Duo memory stick coming for PSP.
As I said, I don’t own a PSP and have never seriously looked at what kind of resources the PSP Homebrew community has to offer, but it may be time to invest and research.
