CoverBuddy is a cute piece of software that makes your PSP somewhat useful. Using your Wi-Fi network, you can access iTunes and control it with your PSP. It’s $20 and works with Mac OS X, though a Windows version is planned. Could be worth the bucks if you are wandering around your house a lot, don’t have SONOS, and spent the cash on a PSP expecting fun things.

News from Lik Sang
We have today received stock of the three most popular Car Mount Kits for the Sony PSP from automobile tuning accessories specialist Arkon, located in the USA. All three models are multi-directional, as they are built with three ratcheting joints that allow your PSP to be positioned in almost any angle. They can attach either to your Windshield or Dashboard and offer a spring-loaded mounting cradle. They have all been specifically designed for the Sony PlayStation Portable and are therefore in perfect size and shape. All three models retail for a very affordable price.

Fanjita has released his latest breakthrough for v2.0 Firmware PSPs, a WiFi demo
Heres the info:
“I'm pleased to announce that after a lot of hacking, I finally managed to get my first working wifi app running on v2.0 firmware, under the EBOOT loader.
It's very far from being neat and tidy (if you thought the original loader exploit was inelegant, you won't like this one), but it does work.
At the moment, the only thing that runs is a heavily-modified version of PSPPet's wifi sample application, but it's not a large step from here to being able to load generic wifi apps into the loader.
Attached is the zip containing the demo, and here's how to load it:
1. Extract all the files to the memory stick, starting at the top-level folder but preserving the directory structure.
2. set the LOADER2.PNG file as your PSP background (open it with the photo viewer, press triangle, select 'set as wallpaper')
3. fully turn-off your PSP. This step is important, the loading mechanism is currently very sensitive. Even if you do it perfectly it may take a few goes for it to work properly.
4. Turn on the PSP, go to the photo viewer, open the 'loader2' folder.
5. you'll see 2 thumbnails displayed, one is a black square, the other is a corrupted data icon. If you get this without your PSP freezing, then stage 1 of the loader is complete. (pictured above)
6. Now quit the photo viewer, and open up the web-browser. Let it finish loading up your home page.
7. Now, the moment of suspense. Hold LTrig+RTrig+SELECT for a few seconds. The screen should flicker, then load up the familiar EBOOT loader. Keep the buttons held down until the loader screen has appeared. It often freezes during the screen flickering stage. If it does freeze, then you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds, then try again from step 4.
8. If the loader came up successfully, then select the 'wifi multi-test .03' program, and run it in the usual way.
9. Select the mini-telnet program from the menu.
10. The screen shows your PSP's IP address. You can telnet to that address from any computer with a telnet client (e.g. on windows, start a command prompt (cmd.exe) and type 'telnet <ipaddr>').
11. Once connected, anything you type in the telnet client will show on the PSP screen.
12. To quit, you currently need to hold the power button for 10 seconds - the usual loader exit buttons aren't properly working yet.
I'll be incorporating this support into the v0.9 EBOOT Loader, with the 'wifi mode' being an alternative way of running the loader, rather than the main way (don't worry!).”

Arguably the best Snes emulator on the PSP and a contender for the best emulator so far has been quiet of late, but heres what Laxer3a posted on the official forums:
"Hi everybody !!!
Laxer3A at the keyboard...
Yes, we are still alive.
Actually yoyo, TZ and I met in Paris last month for the first time in 3 years of friendship over the internet.
And I would like to thanks our generous donator who paid two times our food in nice restaurant !!!
Yoyo did some stuff and I did some stuff on the emu.
But we have been VERY BUSY in our professional life for quite a long time.
Here is what is changed compare to the latest released version :
- Prototype of the netplay feature.
- Optimized code for mode7 "with no rotation" (like many RPG maps)
I would like to say that we are sorry to have not given any news but plz understand that we have a VERY BUSY working life too and that some time we want also to stop doing programming and do something else on our free time.
See you. "
Thanks to both 1timeuser & plungmonies for this news.

Modsyn has released version 1.2 of his PSpoof program for the PSP.
Heres the info:
Tested using Fanjita's 8.5 loader and USERLUA provided with the 7.0 loader.What it does:
This application allows you to send any file from your memory stick to another PSP via the "Photo Sharing" function. It simply adds your file to a valid jpeg file so the PSP thinks nothing's fishy. Note that the PSP won't allow you to send any image over 2MB. A workaround is in the works.

December is going to witness the blade-twirling Prince of Persia prancing onto Sony's PSP in Prince of Persia: Revelations, which is kind of Warrior Within but with new content - additional puzzles, new maps and redesigned levels, yadda yadda. A new trailer from the game is stabbing a sword tipped with trademark PoP action into our eyeballs and twisting it around a bit in an effort to make them pop out.
It may be that if you've already played Warrior Within then it'd be more fun going down to your local park and flicking dog poo with a stick at people than playing Revelations, but we'll have to wait and see.
Watch the trailer at C&VG here --> http://www.computerandvideogames.com....php?id=129945

New For PSP from Success HK
If there's one PSP peripheral you really shouldn't be without, it's Action Replay MAX. It has everything you need to get the absolute most from your favourite PSP games. There's an Action Replay Memory Card, with an amazing 64Mb of storage space, a USB 2.0 cable to connect your PSP to your PC and a CD containing PC software which allows you to manage your saves, MP3s and movies, as well as download more materials from the CodeJunkies server (internet connection required).
The AR MAX disc gives you easy access to thousands of saves, which you can transfer to your PSP using the supplied USB Cable, and store on the supplied MAX Memory 64MB memory card. You can also upload your own saves for other people to download and use.
But there's more to Action Replay MAX for PSP than game-busting. With MAX, you can put the PSP at the centre of your digital lifestyle. Want movies on the move? No problem. Transfer videos to your handheld, storing them on memory card and converting them to a format playable on your PSP. MAX supports avi, mpg, mpeg, vob, wmv, mov, mpe and 3gp. Also supported are MP3 music files so you can use your PSP as a portable music player. No wonder they call it the Walkman of the 21 st Century! And by transferring image files using MAX, you can use your PSP as a portable photo viewer. How cool is that?

Source - Engadget
Every Wednesday Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, an opinion column about consumer technology, multimedia, and digital entertainment:
The XBox 360 is a great networked media client for Windows XP regardless of whether its host is running Media Center software, but it is surprisingly poor at handling such media on its own. The 360’s hard drive can not be used for storing content other than the same ripped CDs the original XBox allowed, and Microsoft’s “integration” with iPods and PSPs is limited to playing content from these devices.
This represents a partial retreat from the last media-savvy game device launched from a major manufacturer. Perhaps because the PSP is less likely to be connected to a fast and reliable network and because Sony has a vested interest in Memory Stock Duo purchases, the PlayStation purveyors have so far favored local storage to network streaming for the PSP (although the latest firmware does enable it to stream video across a network using Sony’s Location-Free TV system).
Sony took another step toward bolstering the PSP’s media features recently with the release of its PSP Media Manager. Available for just under $20 online or $30 in a box (which also includes a USB cable and five free songs from the Connect music service), the offering attempts to bring Sony closer to the tight integration of hardware and software that Apple has benefited from with the iPod and iTunes. Sony’s decision to charge for the software seems short-sighted compared to Apple’s approach with iTunes. Unlike iTunes, which is a useful music jukebox even to those without iPods, PSP Media Manager has almost no incremental value to anyone but PSP owners.
In addition to replicating several features that have been available from third-party offerings, such as transferring and transcoding several formats for photos, music and video and backing up saved game files, PSP Media Manager includes a media-focused Web feed reader that enables the downloading of podcasted music, photos and videos. And, for those challenged by other ways to get their CDs into digital form, the software can handle the process itself, although I wonder if it would work with Sony-BMG’s XCP copy-protected CDs that were recently pulled from the market.
Speaking of which, it’s encouraging to see that PSP Media Manager pulls no funny business. While the software will transcode ATRAC, it converts the Sony-developed compression codec and other formats into standard MP3 files at a choice of bitrates (although it doesn’t offer variable bitrate transcoding). In terms of podcasts, the software is a bit ahead of the PSP itself as audio podcasts are dumped into the same folder as other music, instead of a separate menu branch like on the iPod.
PSP Media Manager did not start out endearing itself to me due to a forced registration process that took two attempts to communicate all the “required” data that I needed to send to Sony. However, from there it soon proved itself to be a welcome improvement from previous maligned media manipulators such as SonicStage and Connect. For example, in contrast to RnSK Softronics’ iPSP, which costs the same as Sony’s downloadable program, PSP Media Manager didn’t hit me with a string of error messages when launched without the PSP connected.
Also unlike iPSP, which assumes you want to send folders whole-hog to the often space-constrained PSP, Sony’s software uses an easy browsing model based on a two-pane view to transfer from your PC to your PSP. You can also drag files directly from Windows explorer to the PSP pane to have them transferred. User interface niceties include photo thumbnails that get larger when you mouse over them and universal preview for any media using its default application.
The one difficulty I encountered was getting PSP Media Manager to recognize the Motion-JPEG AVI files taken by my Canon digital camera. However, other PSP transcoding tools I tried failed at this as well. iPSP froze when I chose such a file. PSP Video 9 got the furthest with it, but would up converting only the audio from the movie.
Alas, also unlike iPSP, PSP Media Manager has no Mac version available. For Windows users, though, Sony’s software is a polished companion to its namesake hardware, one that would likely return its development costs in higher-capacity Memory Stick Duo card sales if Sony made it freely available. It makes content easy to grab for that shiny black slab.

Some great News from Lik Sang
The Sony PSP looks cool, stylish and sexy. But it's everywhere, in everybody's hands, from hardcore to casual gamer, from Slashdotters to Paris Hilton and J-Lo. If you are the kind of geek-chic gamer who likes to stand out from the masses, the fact that Sony has already shipped over 10 millions of the Jet Black handheld gives you headaches. If you want an exclusive gem to be unique, we just got the right thing: replacement faceplates in 5 different colors!
The faceplate installation is very easy, even for a non-tech user, as it only requires removal of 7 screws, and lifting a front cover, no soldering involved whatsoever. The exhaustive installation manual fits on one single page and is available for download as a PDF file right here: guide for replacement faceplate installation on PSP. Still, you have to be aware and it is our duty to point out that by removing these 7 screws and by performing this little faceplate swap, you will indeed void the manufacturer's warranty on your precious PSP system. Please ponder that in when making the decision whether to go for it or pass on it. Please also note that the replacement faceplates come without buttons, you will have to switch those from the original factory faceplate into the new one that you are about to put up. There is a protective glass for the screen attached to each faceplate.
The replacement faceplates come in 5 different flavors at the time being, until new editions are released: sexy red, pure white, translucent blue, liquid silver and transparent are your options. Both the translucent blue and the transparent versions let you wear out the guts of the machine. The Liquid Silver comes with a special metallic chrome layer and is therefore slightly more expensive than the other four models. The latter retails for US$ 38.95, while all other standard tones sell for US$ 32.95 only. Bulk discounts on 5+, 10+ and 20+ quantity orders are available for resellers and shops.

Heres the first of 2 new (or ones i missed  ) commercial PSP releases.
Significantly rebuilding this entry into the Armored Core series for PlayStation Portable (after the Japanese edition delivered a hardcore sim experience that did not feature the combat action gameplay of the series), Agetec's Armored Core: Formula Front - Special Edition utilizes the complex AI designing and wireless head-to-head action of the original version, and adds action-based player combat interaction to give PSP players the intense fighting gameplay they crave from Armored Core.
