Yes, it’s a new discovery in PSP applications. Sony has recently released the PSP GPS. GPS stands for global positioning system. It is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations. GPS uses these satellites as reference points to calculate various positions accurately. This technology is very economical and as a result it has made its way to the PSP.

These days GPS technology is already found in cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, movie making gear, farm machinery, and even laptop computers. The PSP GPS is handy in various ways. PSP GPS can be useful in your daily and hectic life in the following ways:

• You can keep a track on the location of your children.
• Get instant road side assistance at a touch of a button from your vehicle, so you can get help regarding your location.
• You can keep a visual journal and bookmark collection of your favorite hot spots, sceneries, etc which are not available in your travel guide.
• You can create your own mini travel guides and memories.
• You can find your lost pets easily using collars with an attached PSP GPS unit.
• Using your PSP, get to your interview or any important destination, faster by finding shortcuts using GPS.
• Keep a track of your suitcases and bags, laptops and anything important while traveling.
• You can track and find your family in crowded places, concerts, etc.
• When going on a vacation, feel free to separate from your group for a while to venture on your own based on your own interests and find them later on with your GPS enabled device- even in an unfamiliar place.

The PSP GPS receiver is surprisingly small and weighs around 15 grams. It refreshes every second and you can remove it at any time. Home Star is an application that gives you information about the night sky according to your GPS location.

Homebrews are the juice of the PSP community. An ever-growing suite of all applications that are almost free and what’s more you have a thriving community to back you up with any technical problems you might face. Much better than some commercial software available, we must admit. There are lots and lots of such homebrew applications that can literally change the capabilities of your PSP overnight, but you should look to the very best for starters. Please do note that you must have homebrew-capable firmware on your PSP for these applications to run. Also, note that Sony doesn’t support your homebrews and you bear all risk after voiding your warranty.

Do you smell something? — The Wifi Sniffer : How about letting your PSP sniff around and pick up other PSPs nearby? Won’t it be fun to check them out and monitor your status? This homebrew works only with firmware 1.50. You can also use this application to connect to open networks and take your PSP online.

Your PSP as a remote control: Ever wanted to have a single remote control for everything you wanted to operate. You can now do so by using this homebrew and the PSP’s infrared port. A cool application to control most of your other electronic gadgets with and there are detailed guides and tutorials to help to install and run it. This application also requires firmware 1.50.

Always be connected with AFKIM (Away from keyboard Instant Messenger): It is an instant messenger program for PSP and is almost universal — in the sense that it can handle MSN, Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, AOL and more. You can’t get more connected that this, can you? So, like its name says, if you’re away from your keyboard, you can still instant message with your PSP. Guess what? It seems to work with version 2.0 firmware — the one that your Latest PSP comes with.

This is a continuation of our previous posts on some of the best Homebrews for the PSP ever. Most of these applications are not functional on every firmware and you need to take care when installing them because Sony doesn’t give you a warranty if something were to happen to your PSP after using a homebrew (not that it is bound to happen, but it is just a warning) .

Here are some amazing homebrew applications that can change your PSP overnight.

Share your snaps with PSpoof: How would like to share your photos with another PSP, seamlessly - like you do with Bluetooth on a cell phone? PSpoof is an awesome application that uses the PSP’s Photo Sharing function to send any file (under 2 MB) from your PSP’s Memory Stick to another PSP.

PSP as a web server?- PSP-httpd : How cool is that? You can turn your PSP into a portable web server and this would let you browse your PSP’s files wirelessly from your PC or laptop, cell phone or any other wireless enabled device. What’s more, you could even host a website or a blog and run it straight from your PSP.

Want radio on your PSP? –PSPRadio: It is a music player for PSP, but it’s more than just an MP3 player (though it does that, too). Using the Wi-fi capabilities of the PSP, you can tap into the infinite number of music radio stations available online and listen to all of that music with this nifty application. It just works like it would if you connected your PC to the online radio station and check some great numbers out.

The Internet has become a great avenue for enthusiastic communities like PSP and PSP homebrew to thrive and help each other; and better still, make the PSP more popular than what it was intended to be.
