Sony PSP Internet Radio - Image 1 


The arrival of the PlayStation Portable firmware version 3.80 introduced a new function to the  unit: Internet Radio. To access this new feature, users have to install a separate application on their handhelds.

If the current selection of programs are too limited for you, then you might be interested in knowing that Sony has given word that they will be releasing a Development Kit for the PSP Internet Radio Player on its official website:

A developer kit for creating an Internet radio player will be provided on the Japan-region Web site. The date the kit will be made available will be announced as soon as it has been decided.


This is good news for PSP coders everywhere.  Hopefully, Sony will also include the source code of the existing players they've created to help the homebrew community get up to speed with the development of the application.

The source code is readily acquirable... Wish they'd document the damn 'psp' object type already.

Whut?

Does this mean the 3.80 firmware supports homebrew software? i mean... they allow you to build your own webradio application, so what stops you to build a little PONG or something in it?
