Avyaya - Tech Rants

Atlast, Sony has thought of placing its PSP on a flat panel, resting on its back. We have PSP Cradle which would enable the users to enjoy watching their favorite movies while outputting to the TV and as well as charging the PSP at the same time. Cradle is accompanied by an IR Remote which is meant to take advantage of the 1seg utilities by Sony.

Arriving April 24th, the cradle with A/V cables will cost $62, while the cradle without will run $46.  Looks pricey, but PSP addicts wouldn’t think so.

Sony revealed that it had plans to add Skype Web Phone function to PSPs in Japan by the end of this month. It appears as if Sony is trying hard to sell its PSPs which are way behind Nintendo’s DS in sales.

Eventhough it was planned to be up and running by January, the delay, as mentioned by Sony was that the microphone which was planned to be sold along with PSPs didnt meet the Skype specifications for the PSP users in Japan.

Skype intervened stating that the microphone would pass the Skype requirements if it is sold with a recommendation to be used within 10 centimeters from the mouth of an user.

Ever since there had been a notion that Bronze and Gold Gadgets wouldnt do that well when it comes to the Sales Department. So releasing a limited-edition Matte Bronze PSP from Sony is surely gonna make some heads turn. The Sony had been shouting that only 60,000 pieces would be brought out in Japan for sale. And that would cost each about $230 (You do the Match, he he he , 23,800 Yen) and say what, the bundle includes a TV-out cable for the very first time. But, its advisable to get a TV-out Cable from external sources and get a PSP rather than stuffing the Matte Bronze PSP which would look like You are playing on Granma’s PSP. But, if you love it, do go and get yourself one. We would love to hear from you with some pics too.
