Sony Finally Puts the PSP to good use! - Click!
Sony has seen the light finally and has allowed third-party development of the PSP--well sort of. While talking about hacking or modding the PSP is still strictly taboo (and is bannable on their message boards if discussed, a rule created by a SCEA executive), creating skins for the PSP Internet Radio Player (IRP) is a small step forward in the right direction.PSP owners who have wifi can download this application by upgrading to PSP v3.8.0 then downloading the IRP application after upgrading.
Currently, the number of internet radio stations is limited, even more so by the buearocracy that has decimated the number of online radio stations since the beginning of this decade. (Until our Patent, Trademark, and Copyright system is unFUBARed, supporting SaveNetRadio.org can help expand the selection to the PSP's IRP).
PSP's IRP currently supports Shoutcast. To expand upon this, networks like Live365, Pandora, LaunchCast, and other free Internet radio broadcasters should be added, though Live365 seems to be only other compatible broadcasting network that could be supported by the PSP's IRP.
I would like to see this service be expanded over the next few weeks, especially following the days of the Consumer Electronics Show.
