Sony May Complete RSS Support For PSP 31
Taro Taka writes "A Sony spokeswoman has actually admitted they will stop crippling the PSP's RSS functionality if enough customers ask for it." From the article: "SCEI will consider adding compatibility for RSS text feeds should users request it, said Nanako Kato, a spokeswoman for SCEI in Tokyo. The support for podcasts allows users to stream audio content to the PSP. The system supports feeds compatible with RSS 2.0 and encoded in the MP3 or AAC (MPEG4) formats. The firmware update also added support for Windows Media Audio files, direct download of copy-protected content through the PSP's Web browser, and Chinese-language character encoding." We just mentioned the rollout of the limited RSS functionality they already support.

Great... basicly they'll go from 'consider' to 'actually implement' if we sell our souls to them. I'll be over here playing my DS.

Lets see:
1. They'll add text capabilities for the audio enclosure. This is not 'full-fledged RSS support'.
2. Why now? Why wait until hackers cracked their firmware in no less than 3 major instances AND after their huge DRM fiasco. This just says 'we need to rebuild our street cred.'
3. Fans had to 'beg' for Sony to CONSIDER allowing limited RSS support. Last time I checked, I didn't have to 'beg' Ford for permission to install a new sound system into my car.
This is just Sony throwing one life preserver to a thousands of drowning people. Limited support is crap and everyone knows it, after the DRM fiasco no one is gonna trust a Sony audio related product and be honest here. Only the most hardcore fans 'begs' a company for anything. You have to sink pretty low to cause someone to use that kind of language.

That, and checking the TV guide. Its actually a very nice (if slow) browser. Makes for a very portable way to do X plus reference the web. It has up to three 'tabs', and renders pages pretty well. Only real flaw is popups, it doesn't do them at all so some sites just can't be accessed. Also you can't download a file and browse it offli
