Say hi to the grown up PSP

Posted on Aug 6, 2008 12:15:24 PM

It seems like only yesterday when I was so enchanted by the PSP I just had to have it. Even before I laid eyes on it, I knew we were meant to be together. But in a very small span of time my beloved PSP has given birth to enhanced PSPs. If you recall, in the beginning the PSP was introduced with its 2.0 version which stole the hearts of millions. Since then, the PSP is continuously introducing upgrades and more advanced forms.

The list of PSP versions includes 2.01, 2.50, 2.60, 2.70, and 2.71, from the introduction of 2.0, all the way up to the present day of 4.05. All these new firmwares for the PSP Bundle may actually suggest something. Many people believe Sony only updates the firmware, in order to make it more difficult for people to run homebrew applications on their PSP, and in many instances these seems completely true. Of course, some firmware upgrades do actually offer substantive improvements, like the latest 4.05 upgrade.

The rocking PSP 4.05 incorporates video support in the RSS (Real Simple Syndication) channel with the help of which you can download videos and songs. The only thing which you’ll surely miss in this is the streaming of the song as it will not stream your songs on the handheld. The only compatible video format is MPEG-4. A user can install the 4.05 updates directly through the PSP via the System update feature when it’s connected to the internet. The memory stick duo has not been updated so far. It’s actually being used by PSP owners to download the updates directly into it. The Sony PSP 4.05 also enables its user to play AAC files with the file extensions .3gp directly. This excellent firmware is equipped with an incredible Location free player which assists the user in registering devices via the LAN (Local Area Network) access point. So overall this firmware actually offers something useful, and hopefully it is a sign of things to come from Sony.
