Well - Sony have unveiled the PSP. It looks very much like the concept shot that came out a while ago.
Nice round-up of the details here.
Built-in 802.11b is interesting.
I can’t see myself buying one though - I simply don’t use portable games any more - I got a GameBoy as soon as they were available in the UK, and I loved it. I’ve got a GBA but never use it.
The PSP will apparently be available in the UK in 2005.
Great Slashdot comment:
My N-Gage just scuttled back into the comforting environment of my pocket. I think it’s crying.
Nintendo have also shown their upcoming mobile hardware:
Game & Watch 2004… um, I mean the Nintendo DS.

Luckily these things aren’t so much of a problem for Macs - but in case you need to clean out a Windows machine that you suspect has spyware on:
SpyBot and Ad-Aware.

New EyeToy Ad Campaign Cancelled.
Hey, Hey 16k.
I’m very angry with Royal Mail - Royal pain in the Arse more like. Post that doesn’t turn-up and a bag of other people’s post stuck through my door does not impress. Other people seem to be having the same experiences.
And now some real EyeToy news:
EyeToy Chat - is a video chatting app for the PS2 - Alas I can guess that it’s a proprietary protocol, wouldn’t it be nice if everyone just used open standards?
And while we’re on standards and interoperability - wouldn’t it be nice if I could use my existing (better quality than EyeToy) FireWire Cam with my PS2? Ditto for hard drives (even though you’d probably have to reformat the File System)
