Interesting article from pocketgamer
There's plenty of speculation concerning PSP at the moment, so to get up to speed ahead of any announcements at the July E3 Media & Business Summit 2007, Pocket Gamer caught up with Zeno Colaço, vice president of publisher and developer relations at SCEE, during the company's recent DevStation developers conference.
Pocket Gamer: Everyone seems to have different opinions about PSP, so what's you view of the platform, especially compared to DS?
Zeno Colaço: Our performance on PSP has been good but people have tended to compare it to PSone and PlayStation 2, where the hardware was always out of stock. It's a different challenge. We were new to the handheld space. I think Nintendo can take a lot of credit for launching a different type of product for a slightly different consumer and it's done exceptionally well. I think some of the DS games have been fantastic. Where in hindsight we've been short is one or two killer apps that would have been able to drive PSP forward.
What do you think have been the reasons for this?
One of our biggest challenges was PlayStation 2 games could easily be ported to PSP because of the raw processing power of the PSP. We went to all our publishers and developers and said, 'You're not going to set the world alight if you effectively take your PlayStation 2 projects onto PSP'. In reality, that's happened on a lot of early games. Where we have seen successes were games developed specifically for PSP – the GTA games are a classic example.
So looking forward, the PSP business model remains very strong, especially for third-party developers and publishers because the 20:80 Sony model is that 80 per cent of business will come from the games of the thirdparty developers and publishers.
How do you expect to develop the PSP in future?
We now have a credible install base – seven million in Europe, 20 million worldwide – and it's time now to link PSP in with what it can do in conjunction with PlayStation 3 and the network space.
I think the downloadable element of PSP will be a key factor as we move into 2008; connectibility with PlayStation 3 is a key factor. We've soft pedalled this to date, because we had to concentrate on PlayStation 3, but the PlayStation Network isn't just about PS3 going forward.
What about any proposed changes to the hardware?
[Laughs] The technology behind PSP is still top-end and so that doesn't need to be addressed. It's all about showing the power off to its best.

poisonhzkj has released the following in his words:
Here is a plugin for CFW, It cant be easier to customize your XMB with this plugin in your system, It makes no change to your system files in Flash0, It just redirect the resource file path to ms0: by Hooking some funtions and doing some memory patch.
so, you know, It's always safe, you never have to take the risk of bricking your PSP in customizing XMB.
It is a part of SCEP project ,so a XMB theme controller would be brought into SCX...this module would be the core of that.
CXMB 1.02 contains Calabi Spheres XMB Icons theme
How to Install:
Active it as the first plugin in vsh.txt.(or you can just flash it into flash0:/kn and add /kd/cxmb.prx after /kd/vshctrl.prx in flash0:/kn/pspbtcnf.txt)
How to Use:
Create a Folder ms0:/TM/ and put your resource files there like this
ms0:/TM/vsh/resource/ contains 1-all or none of these files
"visualizer_plugin.rco",
"gameboot.pmf",
"opening_plugin.rco",
"01-12.bmp",
"game_plugin.rco",
"impose_plugin.rco",
"photo_plugin.rco",
"msvideo_main_plugin.rco",
"system_plugin_bg.rco",
"system_plugin_fg.rco",
"system_plugin.rco",
"sysconf_plugin.rco",
"topmenu_plugin.rco"
ms0:/TM/font/ contains at least the first 6 or none of these 19 files
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn0.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn4.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn10.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/gb3s1518.bwfon",
"ms0:/TM/font/kr0.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/jpn0.pgf"
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn1.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn2.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn3.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn5.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn6.pgf",
...........
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn15.pgf"
and it works...
Attention:
if you just use it as a OE plugin,and you shut down your PSP in game mode then start it without your memory stick inserted.. you will get a BSOD. if you got BSOD.. you can shut down PSP and insert your memoryStick then reboot, or just press O to fix your registry. Anyway, if you flash it into flash0, there is no this kind of problem.

News from Destructoid:
Sometimes we get these tips that come out of left field. We got one late last night from reader Riku, who talks about his dad's unusual acquisition for his high-end audio setup:
Hi!
My father's hobby is to search for "the perfect sound" making him a high-end audiophile. I was very surprised when I saw an old Playstation 1 (Version SCPH-1001/2) plugged into his super expensive audio rig. He told me, that that particular version of the console has RCA-inputs in the back which has a superb sound output. The console has become an underground sensation in the Hi-Fi scene. He told me to check out some articles at 6moons.com, an audiophile website.
So wait, the old beatup PS1 that I gave to my friend is a high-end audiophile machine? There's no way this can be true! Yet Riku was kind enough to provide us some links from 6moons that talk about the power of Sony's debut console. In one article:
During all this audio fun, my pal Pete Riggle stopped by with an audio underground digital favorite, the Sony PlayStation 1 (Model No. SCPH-1001). I had heard rumors of just how good this particular version of the PS1 is when used as a CD player and was curious to give it a listen. This kid's video game player really does have outstanding audio performance. I'm guessing you'd have to spend more than $6000 on a one-box CD player to equal let alone better it.
$6000? To eBay and beyond (the jump)!
[Thanks for the wonderful pic, Dyson!]
I'm impressed that Sony put together such high-end parts in the PlayStation 1 that it could produce such quality sound. Running a quick search on eBay for SCPH-1001 brings up consoles priced at $5-$35, way below the $6000 equivalent system. Another article provided to us says:
The Sony Playstation 1 SCPH-1001 is another giant killer that's a darling of the audio underground. If you're looking for audio sonic fireworks, the PS1 might not be your cup of tea but if you're looking for an outstandingly musical digital front end that can play music better than just about every multi-kilobuck digital source, look no further - way recommended.
Now, I want to ask all our audiophile readers out there (i.e. Dale North): what about the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3? Do these two later iterations of Sony's console keep up the good work and provide a great deal for audiophiles? Or instead, did Sony only provide mediocre parts for your sound system?
So the Mark 1 PS1`s are still good for something

The reason Im posting this is because ask.com was the only search engine that would work with 100% compatibilty with the PSP web browser, that includes images, feeds, etc.
Internet search engine Ask.com has been chasing market leader Google Inc. for years without making much headway, but that hasn't deterred its engineers from trying to set the pace for innovation.

News/release from Luislizard:
Hi, i decided to separate the two projects as many people where disabling the cycling function and some just wanted the theme manager, or don't knew how to install the complete theme cycler because of the configuration wich had to be made in the Recovery Mode, so im releasing it alone with a few improvements.
Features:
-- Unlimited Themes (Add as many themes your memory stick can hold)
-- Easy way to add themes
-- You can save your current theme
-- Creates backup of your working theme automatically
-- Displays the screenshot of the themes (if you supplied the manager with one)
-- Automatic flashing of the dummy font files, so no more semi-brick because of this (Fixed, it will only flash them if the ones in flash0 are bigger than 150kb, so it will not flash again if the file is different than the one i included)
Files it can flash: (Requests accepted)
--topmenu_plugin
--opening_plugin
--savedata_plugin
--gameboot
--system_plugin
--background (01-12.bmp)
--impose_plugin
--premo_plugin
--system_plugin_fg
--system_plugin_bg
--photo_plugin
--game_plugin
--sysconf_plugin
--ltn0
--visualizer_plugin
--update_plugin
--sysconf_plugin_about
--savedata_utility
--rss_suscriber
--netplay_plugin
--netconf_dialog
--music_main_plugin
--msvideo_main_plugin
Notes and Guides:
-- SUPER MEGA ULTRA IMPORTANT!!!! ONLY FLASH THEMES FOR YOUR FIRMWARE VERSION, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR MORE SEMI-BRICK BECAUSE OF THAT. (note the size of the title, i guess it's very important :P)
-- This installs like any other homebrew for those who couldn't get Theme Cycler to work.
-- The themes included with this download are designed and will only run in 3.30/3.40 OE , any other firmware will SEMI-BRICK. However, this theme manager will run in 3.03 OE if you supply it with themes for that firmware.
-- You need to know the basics of flashing before using any flashing progams. Also, learn how to use the recovery mode before flashing anything.
-- For any issue you have it's better to first ask here at the forums than sending me a mail, you will get a fastest response.
-- How to add themes:
1. First download the theme you like to use
2. Goto your memory stick and there should be a folder named "themes", open it and create a folder with you theme's name (If your theme is called Ultimate Black, the folder's name should be Ultimate Black)
3. Copy all the files included in the download to that folder (Just the files not the folders)
3a. If you want the screenshot to appear, get a screenshot from the theme, convert it to PNG (you can do this with Paint), then save it as screenshot.png in the theme's folder.
4. Fire up Theme Cycler and flash your theme.

PSP sales are declining faster than Sony had anticipated which is being put down to the overwhelming success of the DS and the lack of a defining title on the console.
Sony expected to sell 12 million units financial year starting April 2006. These estimates have now been dropped to nine million.
Software is considered a big part of the problem with the handheld. "Clearly on the software side, any real killer title will galvanize the sales," re-assures Robert Wiesenthal, chief financial officer of Sony Corporation of America.
But he goes on to admit: "there have been a number of titles that have been terrific, but not the one title that defines the product."
Hiroshi Kamide, director of the research department at KBC Securities Japan, also cites software as the key problem for Sony. "If you look at the availability of software, there are a lot of games for the PSP but are not particularly successful ... You don't see any million-seller games for the PSP but you do hear about them for the Nintendo DS.
"The big problem is that while it's a wonderful-looking machine with a great display, the games are not so different from those you play at home on the PlayStation 2. Most of the software is knock-offs of PlayStation 2 titles and that won't do Sony any favours," he concludes.
