Cnn drew up a wishlist for both PSP and PSP2, see if you agree:
Wish-list of items for the existing PSP:
1) Skype support to make Internet calls (includes accessory headset).
2) Support for Slingbox. Yes, I know you sell Location-Free TV, but why bother selling the hardware when you can make more money teaming up with Sling and selling a PSP-version of its Slingbox mobile application for $34.95?
3) Built-in instant-messaging applications. In addition to Mylo's Yahoo Instant Messenger and Google Talk, let's see AIM as well.
4) Better e-mail integration. How 'bout some quick ways to check Yahoo Mail and Gmail. I know Microsoft properties (MSN, Hotmail, Live Mail) are off limits, but why not some e-mail apps from popular companies that you aren't competing with? Say, Google Desktop for PSP?
5) Keyboard accessory (see above).
6) A video-output cable so I can watch videos and play games on TV. Come on, it doesn't have to be digital or anything. Gimme some crappy analog video output, so I don't have to resort to one of those awful camera hoods. (The developer versions of the PSP have video output, by the way.)
7) Connect me. And by that, I mean your Connect music/video service that's supposed to give iTunes a run for its money. I know, it's been delayed. But the PS3 isn't the only horse in the race, and there are millions of content-hungry PSP owners already out there.
Wish-list for the PSP2:
1) Built-in 40GB or 60GB hard drive (offer various configurations at various prices, as the iPod does). If the hard disk is seen as too fragile, a fairly capacious load of flash memory--say, 4GB to 12GB--would be a worthwhile alternative.
2) Faster UMD disc reader--or whatever it takes to reduce UMD load times. Or, since we now have internal storage--and multigigabyte Memory Sticks--just make the games downloadable, Ă* la Xbox Live Arcade.
3) Built-in Bluetooth (more flexibility for communications and accessories).
4) Put a second USB port on the bottom of the device.
5) A second flash media slot that can accept SD, MMC, and xD cards, in addition to Memory Sticks.
6) Offer at least one more expensive step-up version with the same sort of slide-down keyboard found on the Mylo and the Vaio UX180P ultramobile PC.
7) Everything from the above wish-list for the existing PSP.
What's your wish-list for the existing PSP and/or the PSP2?
