The PSP: what's its future?

Bruce Jackson

Next PSP

I love my PSP. Everyone I show it to is amazed that graphics this good can be on a hanheld game console.

There is room for imporvement though.

I'd ditch the UMD format. I've yet to purchase a single movie on UMD. I rip them from DVDs I already own and upload them to my memory stick. Games come on UMD but they could just as easily come on a memory stick.

Speaking of memory sticks, Sony should ditch their memory stick duo pro format. Why not just use SD cards? I already have a bunch of these for my cameras and PDAs but I need to buy yet more flash for my PSP.

Lastly, they should support the homebrew community. I'd love to be able to write my own programs for my PSP but Sony makes it difficult. The PSP is more powerful than most of the computers I've owned so why can't I use it like a computer instead of just a game console?

It needs a bit more memory. It is handy for web surfing but many sites run it out of memory. As cheap as memory is these days there is no reason to be so stingy.

Fiorina's history

George W Bush was a lousy oil man but that didn't keep him from being president of the US.

It is more important to have the right ideology than competancy.
