12GB microSDHC Card Takes Title

Yep, this puppy is now the largest microSD card in the world.

A 12GB microSDHC is ideal for storing large quantities of music, photos and video. For example, it will be able to store a combination of 1,500 songs, 3,600 photos and 24.5 hours of video.

Holy crap that’s a lot of storage for a PSP or Cellphone!

Nav N Go 3D Navigation Software For PSP

“Beginning March 2008, Sony will sell its gaming console PlayStation®Portable with Nav N Go iGO8 software in Europe. In the second quarter of 2008, V7 by Ingram Micro will launch a customized version of Nav N Go iGO8 with their V7 GPS line of Portable Navigation Devices for North America.”

“The unique visualization engine of Nav N Go iGO8 offers high-definition 3D navigation maps of terrain, road elevation, landmarks and buildings. It shows almost 13 miles in a single view on personal navigation devices (PNDs), smart phones and game consoles. Packaged with the powerful and advanced graphical engine for 3D and 2D modes, Nav N Go iGO8 does not need any specific hardware requirements for installation.”

Copy Blu-Ray Movies From Playstation 3 To PSP

Sony announced today at CES that this will be possible in the future.

Sony today demonstrated the next level of disc copying. At the company’s booth at CES, Sony demonstrated how you could put a Blu-ray Disc movie into a Playstation 3 and copy the film to a Playstation Portable or a Memory Stick. “This way, you can have a portable copy you can take with you,” explains David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Unfortunately it will only be supported by Blu-Ray 2.0 discs and it will have to be turned on by the studios who press the discs. Also the transfer process will decrease the resolution to shrink the file size. In any case it’s quite a cool feature I’m definitely looking forward to.

Solar Powered PSP

1800mAh Self-Recharging Solar Battery USB Charger for PSP 1000/2000 is the full description. It obviously straps to the back, plugs into the USB slot, and then eats up the sun!

Skype Coming To PSP

.

“The feature’s listed on Sony’s CES site, along with internet radio and a few other features we already know about, like Remote Play. So it’s not a matter of whether the PSP will grab Skype, it’s a matter of when the firmware update will be released.”
