PSP peripherals

August 23rd, 2005

PSP to get mouse, keyboard, GPS, Flash:

Now we’re talking….. GPS and PSP

“Kawanishi also revealed that Sony is already planning a number of USB peripherals for the PSP, and some should be announced in the near future. He commented that a keyboard and mouse are possibilities, as they will facilitate browsing the Web. The Global Positioning System device shown during last year’s E3 is another possible peripheral, as it could be used with both the Web browser and PSP games.”

PSP and GPS prototype from E3.

ReplayTV, Tivo, or something else to feed the PSP

August 22nd, 2005

Well, I think the old ReplayTV is giving up the ghost. Connections are taking an hour or better to get the channel guide information, if at all. I’m back to a normal phone line instead of the wireless power jacks. I’ve reduced the modem speed, gone to alternate channels and it’s not getting better.

Given that it may be time for a new PVR, getting content to my PSP is a consideration in the upgrade. ReplayTV or TiVo? Leaning towards ReplayTV 5508 for DVArchive.

I’ve started looking into broadcatching, as well for feeding the PSP.

Eyedrum Podcast

August 12th, 2005

Dave Slusher gets tuned into the Eyedrum podcast.

Eyedrum Podcast:

My friend and WREK cohort Chris emailed me about his new project. He has been a volunteer at the Atlanta art gallery/ performance space Eyedrum for a while. Once a month on WREK he hosts a Sunday Special that features songs from performances at the joint. Now he has set up a podcast for those shows. Cool, no? This is yet another semi-official podcast feed for WREK, on top of the ones I set up. It’s not exactly “if you build it they will come”; but more like “if you build it, they will build it too.”

Google Maps on the DS (is the PSP next?)

August 4th, 2005

Here’s hoping the PSP isn’t far behind.

Google Maps on the DS:

Google Maps on DS

Some slick work has produced a functioning GPS device on the Nintendo DS using Google Maps. The author has yet to release the code (only “after a few things are cleaned up a bit”;), so you’ll have to be patient. In the meantime, be sure to pick up the GBA Movie Player (and Compact Flash card), as it’s used to store the program and map data. We’ll keep you posted.
