Summary

With the PlayStation Portable, Sony has created a very diversely powerful device. Not only is PSP a portable game system born from the most popular console gaming system in the world, but it also has a variety of multimedia features, such as video, music, and digital photography. Mix in the USB port, the Memory Stick Duo slot, the IR port, and the 802.11 wireless capabilities of the device and you have a Swiss army knife gadget that practically begs industrious gadgeteers to hack and repurpose it to their liking. Within a week of PSP's release, several hacks appeared on the Internet. 'PSP Hacks' gathers 80 of the most useful hacks to emerge for this amazing device, including how to browse the Internet with a PSP, chat in IRC, or use the device to read web comics, ebooks or RSS feeds. Other hacks show users ways to sync an address book to their PSP, how to watch UMD movies, trick iTunes into thinking the PSP is an iPod shuffle, and much more.
