O.P. PSP Mobile Phone
"When they said it would be multi-function, they weren't kidding"
As Well as being a hardcore mobile gaming device, UMD movie player, picture viewer and wireless internet freak of nature (as long as it becomes flash compatable anyways) , The psp may also be gettin a mobile phone mod. and I'm reckoning on it being maybe a camera phone of video phone depending on the camera that will be coming out for it.
Wanna know more?

Sony Computer Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi has confirmed that the company plans to release peripherals which add mobile phone and digital camera functionality to the PlayStation Portable, as devkits for the new console begin shipping.
The Website - http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?sec..._name=dev&aid=2167
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=53126 is another site out of many you can look at.
I've noticed that most of the posts are quiet old., so I'm relativly suprised this isn't bigger news.
So as well as kicking nintendo up its mobile amstrad type games ass, the N-gage is gonna get a kick in the teeth too.
This could be considered a (Long Awaited) Revolution!! |

No, since it is simply a computer and therefore anything can be written for it. Since it also has wireless internet support anything that could run on a computer could be added to the psp firmware.

mobile phone support can't be coded through software alone, since WiFi is different from GSM and the likes. (afaik, there may be mobile phone hardware already in the PSP). The Artist Formerly Known As saralk

RE: PSP Mobile Phone
I think all of the things that they're coming up with are stupid, who in their right mind would use it as a mobile phone, a dvd player, a music player and a picture viewer.
Come on, please, what is with all of this pariphanalea that is coming out for it, it is a handheld console, it is defeating the object of the PSP.

Exactly, and its not defeating the object of the PSP since what exactly is your perspective of a PSP. You could say that phones are defeating the objects of phones, coz they do the exact same thing pretty much these days, they play games, they hold and take pictures, they play videos, they play music, go online whats wrong with another device doing that, but on a larger capacity?
