While I couldn’t get the whole news about this as I could only read a little excerpt from my search online, I found this story amusing.
It seems that a Hawaiian bus driver was suspended after a passenger on his bus snapped a picture of him playing his PSP while on duty.
The site will not allow non UK residents to read so I can’t get the whole story but maybe someone can tell us more on this story.

During the CES 2008 (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, Sony demonstrated their PS3’s capability to play Blu-ray movies on the console.
The new features that will be added to Blu-ray movies, in the future, will be the addition of lower-resolution versions of the movie on the disc.
The PS3 is not encoding the Blu-ray movie for uploading to your PSP but sending a lower-res version of the movie that is stored on the Blu-ray disc.
For those with PSP’s with a memory stick, they will be able to download the lower-res version to their PSP from the PS3 system.
There was always the promise of greater inactivity,” said David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
I am not sure if the lower-res version of the movie will be available for transfer to other systems such as iPods but the outlook is that it will be easily transferable to another system as the lower-res version should be in mp4 format. (I am assuming that it’ll still be based on the mp4 format.)
Griffin’s iTrip for the PSP will transmit sound from your PSP to a FM radio channel.
The iTrip connected to the PSP takes very little space and blends nicely with the PSP.
The transmitter on the iTrip will shut off automatically after two minutes if no audio is heard for two minutes.
iTrip does have the potential for static, as any radio broadcasts would, and it requires it’s own battery power.
CNet gives a 6.9 on it’s Editors’ rating.

Ah Hellboy, the demon child that grows up to save the world from evil… What a twist!
Fans of Hellboy will be rewarded with the release of “Hellboy: Science of Evil” on the PSP, PS3, Xbox 360 and even on your mobile phone around June 0f 2008.
The initial date of the release was sometime in 2007, but Krome Studios shows ETA and no dates showing for the release, currently, even thought their trailer shows 2007…
The E3 2007 game trailer looks like it’s for the PSP. YouTube commentors pretty much think the graphics look like its more for the PS2.
It does look pretty bad on YouTube, but I think it’s more due to the compression of the video, either that or its a PSP game trailer. Check out this video from Krome’s webpage link, it’ll take you directly to the quicktime vid.
