My head is swimming with possibilities since news leaked out that Sony is planning some PDA-like applications for the Playstation Portable, the PSP. Sony, you’re killin me here! But this is a good thing because it could save me some money and give me more than I had hoped for.
Why? Well my old Palm IIIe is dying a slow death of hardware failure plus the death of software support. So I’ve been left with the choice of foregoing a PDA altogether, or shelling out big bucks to get what I want. There are cheap replacements, but none of these have Wi-Fi support. I want a machine that will let me sit on the couch and surf the web and maybe do some email or messaging. Getting that last bit of networking support is the deal killer, leaving me with choices costing anywhere from $400 to $700. This is way too much money for what I want.
So in comes the PSP, currently slated for a March 2005 release in the U.S. at about $200. The PSP already has Wi-Fi support and now with word that a web browser is included with a coming update nearly closes the deal for me! If they play the convergence game right, the PSP may well become the killer hardware of 2005.
