Just a thought

Just recently, i was discussing with a close friend of mine about handphones MID and gadgets; we agree on one thing though, seems like theres no hp, mid or any gadget thats really like “perfect” nowadays.

There seems always to be some flaws, for example the seemly perfect iphone 3gs, fast with a good ui. Problem is its reliance on itunes, no multitasking, absymal battery life. Even the droid im currently using has its own flaws too.

Seriously is it so hard to make a good usable phone nowadays? Then again im sure companies are doing this to ensure continous sales for their own companies sadly. Sigh.

on the other hand i ordered a Window G85 portable media player, ill try to post up a review if i can =)

New PSP Go

With apple touting the Ipod touch as a gaming device and introduction of the Nintendo DSi, Sony got to join into the portable console too right?

Introducing the PSP Go, sporting a smaller 3.8-inch wide slide up screen with 16GB of built in memory.

Sony has omitted the UMD drive in favor of a larger memory size, users will be able to download and purchase the games and via the Playstation Store. The result? A lighter weight.

Another improvement is the addition of Bluetooth, which includes AD2P earphones and speakers. In addition, Sony has plans for the PSP Go to pair with a 3G enabled phone to allow you to browse and game online. PSP Go could potentially pair with the current Sony PS3 controllers too.

The controls however seems too indented inside, with a very cramped button layout. This could result in finger cramps when you’re doing long hours of gaming(ie. Monster Hunter)

But wait! Where’s the touchscreen?!

Sorry to say this, but there is no touchscreen on the PSP Go. Maybe this is how it differentiates itself from the gaming console rival, the DSi? Who knows?

Specs:

Screen: 3.8-inch wide screen

CPU: MIPS 333 Mhz

Storage: 16GB Flash Memory(Expandable via Memory Stick Micro)

Memory: 64Mb RAM

Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11B, Bluetooth 3.0

Replaceable Battery: No

Is this the new PSP 2? No, think of it as a 1.5, where its just a form factor and several minor upgrades to the PSP franchise.

That said, here’s a link to a video from Engadget for the unboxing of the PSP Go.
