Not a big deal was made of it, but just announced by Sony at their Leipzeg press conference is the PSP-3000. We’ll cut to the chase here, how exactly is the redesigned PSP-3000 better than its bigger brothers? Well, the answer is not very much.

The PSP-3000 will have no external redesign whatsoever and will look exactly like the PSP-2000. Whats changed under the hood is the presence of a screen that works better outdoors and apparently is able to resist glare, as well as a built-in microphone, something that will excite Skype users who will now be able to use their PSP as a Internet phone without any cumbersome addons.

If you asked me though, these added features are pretty underwhelming, what with all the hype of an internal hard disk, more ram, and a second analogue stick, that PSP fans had been speculating about before the official announcement.

What Sony is more likely to be after is the release of a PSP version with a more hacker-resistant motherboard, the last couple of versions were easily compromised by hackers and Sony will be looking to hold off the pirates with the newest release of the PSP-3000.

The PSP-3000 will be released in Europe on October 15th, and will be available in 8 different packages, each bundled with a different game.

So what do you think? Are these new features enough to make you buy a new PSP? Or is this minor redesign simply an attempt by Sony to make a quick buck?

See-through memory promises transparent or better spy gadgets

Posted by friend on November 7, 2009 under Accessories, Cell Phone, PDA Phone | Comments are off for this article

Korean researchers have developed a kind of transparent memory which will be used for building some transparent gadgets. Transparent memory chips will be very useful for building spy gadgets such as a transparent camera embedded in sunglasses, or some electronic components used in car windshields.

The transparent memory is called TRRAM (Transparent Resistive Random Access Memory), which is almost fully transparent and it functions just like the normal non-transparent chips. This type of transparent memory can be integrated into any electronic circuits. Imagine if a cellphone has transparent guts, it’s even possible to make a cellphone to be completely transparent, which can then be integrated into some garments to be worn by the users.

But there might be some problems faced by the manufacturers that make transparent gadgets. Such as some transparent chips could be lost easily or it’s definitely hard to handle soldering of these transparent components onto the circuit board. Anyway, the first device that will use these transparent chips would only appear no sooner than after 3 – 4 years.
