Sony reveals PC software that allows for drag-and-drop file transfer between a computer and the PSP...
Away from games and UMD videos, the multimedia aspects of the PSP has since its release, been the domain of geeks and stubborn sorts who are happy to reassign their video files to strange names and mess around with various folders saved on the Memory Stick of the machine. Aware that such shenanigans have acted as barriers to the handhelds various functionalities, Sony has today announced that for $19.95 (via download) and $29.95 boxed, PSP owners can obtain the PSP Media Manager, which allows for simple and straightforward file transfers between PCs and Sonyâ??s handheld.
Very much adding a sense of user-friendliness to the task, the Media Manager allows owners to drag and drop files from one system to another, select from a range of compressions, and even offers RSS feed podcast/blog support. The software also allows gamers to transfer game save data onto their PC and other Memory Sticks...
"With more then two million PSP systems sold in North America as of September 2005, the PSP system has established itself as the preeminent device for mobile entertainment and gaming. Now, with the release of the new PSP Media Manager software, we're providing Sony technology that lets users easily optimize and transfer their content from the PC to their PSP system using a familiar drag-and-drop interface," says Dave Chaimson, Vice President of Marketing, Sony Media Software. "Whether your source is 16:9 high definition video footage, a collection of photos from your latest vacation, or a PSP formatted publication, this new technology lets you view and share it anywhere you and your PSP system go."
"Since its inception, the PSP system has quickly become the device of choice for portable entertainment. Whether it's games, music, movies photos or Internet access, no other portable media device provides as much functionality and entertainment as the PSP system," says John Koller, Senior Product Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "PSP Media Manager software enables consumers to easily manage and move their favorite media from their PC to their PSP. The PSP system, coupled with the new PSP Media Manager software, provides a complete solution for truly enjoying the PSP system's portable entertainment capabilities."

lol an 80 gb psp is not possible unless they use ssd hard drives which cost sh*t loads to buy independantly maybe you should get used to dreaming, though if they stop making any games for it or make a psp that could only get games from the ps3 then you could have maybe a 20gb max where the current disk drive is. apart from that the psp is getting more like the ds minus the touch screen which no doubt will probably happen in the no so distant future.

UMD already dead. Sony has nothing to lose by adding SD stuff on the Blu-ray discs for PSP viewing.

good point but i think i would only pay about $250 and not bother with the touch screen.with mobile tec in there you could play games over the net any time any where but only at a reasonable price of course.

Sony should have added a 40 or 80 gig internal hard drive like the ipod to the psp instead of making it thinner and lighter! With the extra space it would be the same size as the Orignal psp but with a hard drive! get the word out maybe they will hear our call! touch screen,Phone,internal camera, calender! I will pay $500 to $600 for this better then iphone because of games and UMD but same price!

fair enough about the head set although i've been trying to buy one for a while now and you can only get one with socom navy seals.but i already own the game and refuse to buy it again just for the headset.try'd ebay but prices are over valued with no idea if it still works.
