White PSP

 

At a presentation in Japan by Sony, a number of new features have been announced for the company's portable game system, the PSP.  Firstly, the handheld will be getting a web browser, which will support up to HTML 4.01, though it will not play Flash at this time.  Besides standard web browsing, PSP owners will also be able to use the system as a TV, accessing content from a new service called Personal TV (P-TV).  What has yet to be decided with the TV programs is whether or not people will have to pay for the content.  P-TV is expected to go live in Japan on July 27 of this year.

 

Besides info regarding new connectivity and downloadable content for the PSP, Sony has also announced that the handheld will soon also be available in white.  There is no word, yet, as to how much this new PSP will sell for at retail.

 

With all of these enhancements coming to the PSP in the near future, a new firmware update is also planned for the system in Japan.  Expect that to be available the same day P-TV is currently slated to launch, July 27.
