The iPhone is coming out on Friday and while I’d love to have one, it’s just too expensive right now and I can live without all of the whiz bang features it has, for now. People have compared it to Sony’s PSP, yeah, crazy people!^_^ I don’t really think it’s a sensible comparison, but there is one thing the iPhone can do that I sooo wish the PSP could. And that is play YouTube videos. While the PSP finally did get some level of Flash support, that support is for Flash version 6, YouTube requires Flash version 7 or better. I really wish Sony’s software writers would at least try to keep up. The PSP is still pretty nice hardware just begging to be fully exploited. If they cannot keep up, then please Sony, open the platform up for the 3rd party homebrew/independents to make some apps! My TiVo can’t play YouTube videos either, but at least TiVo is trying to keep up with the features war by adding new services that take advantage of what’s available on the net. Not perfect, but they’re trying. Perhaps the unlocking of the PSP CPU is a sign of good things to come…
