So pretty soon, every child in India will have a laptop, while here in America, we're lucky if half the graduating High School seniors know how to read.
Let's not kid ourselves. This is not about putting 4GB of video on the PSP, it's about 4GB of GAMES on the PSP. Right now there is a pent up demand for a larger storage device on the PSP. Many people who became aware of the cracked status of the PSP ran out and bought a 1GB memory stick. This allowed them to play about 95% of the games released so far. (A small minority are larger than 1GB in size without ripping content from the game). Several people, however balked at the high price of a 2GB memory stick. This 4GB device from Datel serves a very important nitch. The size of a single PSP game is now no longer a blockade to playing a pirated version of said game, and with several games coming in at 200-500MB each, this means one can carry anywhere from 3-10 (or more) games (plus a whole bunch of emus&games) on the PSP at once.
You can buy a late 90's VW Passat TDI for well under $10,000, and unlike your average gasoline powered car, these things last (relavitely) FOREVER. I'm nearing 200,000 miles on mine, and it acturally drives BETTER than new!
Then, while you're feeling all high and mighty about driving a car with such great fuel economy, you can really up the stakes and switch to biodiesel! You will be travelling in style inflicting much less damage to the environment to the word than even the Prius owners!
I have in my possesion a commodore PET computer and a commodore PET 8080 floppy disk drive than I can use TODAY to read media written to in 1979, more than 25 years ago. Hell, if someone had written a file to a disk with instructions to the family fortune, I could find the location with ease!
Now the Commodore 4040 is not a common animal. Production was in the low 1000's, I believe. Compare with with the number of CD-ROM devices made thus far. TENS of millions? HUNDREDS of millions? I'll eat my hat if you couldn't come by one in 2045, or even 2100.

Following the sudden death of my husband General Sani Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in june 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country. My son was just released from detention few months ago by the Nigerian Government for an offence he did not commit. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within the country.
You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in different security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail. In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of $700. Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me poor for life. I got your contacts through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium.I will give you more information as to this regard as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you. I have deposited the sum of 30.000.000 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now until we open communication.I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account for safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son Ahmed alone, so my son will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being.I am seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere like yours as soon as this fund get into your account so that I can start all over again if only you wish, but if it is impossible,just help me in diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund. Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction.I will require your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence communication immediately and I will give you a more detailed picture of things. In case you dont accept please do not let me out to the security as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence.I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action by sending your reply to my son email address below.
Hell, I know it's a slow news day, and heck, it's JULY, not APRIL, but WTF???
A guy PHYSICALLY connects a USB keyboard to a device that has a USB connector???
AMAZING!!!
I know I'l probably be modded down for this, but this has to be the most fucking retarded "news" story I have EVER seen on slashdot!
This would have been news if he had coded a driver or app to actually CAPTURE the keystrokes, but getting a news story for simply connecting it to a keyboard? COME ON!
In fact...I'm going to copy this amazing feat right now...
1. connect USB-A to USB-MiniB cable to PSP
2. connect USB-A to USB-A adapter to cable.
3. connect USB keyboard to adapter.
OMFG!!! I did it too!!!
CAN I BE FAMOUS???
Coming soon to Slashdot: I connect a Hello Kitty USB vibrator to my PSP!
Let's assume for a minute that Apple does decide to lock down OSX86, and upon it's release the hackers jump in start trying to make it runnable on generic PCs. Why does everyone automatically that this hack would be easy to implement? Take for example the example of the XBOX. Architecturally speaking, the design of an XBOX is quite similar to that of a standard PC, yet after more than three years of intense development, no commercial version of windows has EVER run natively on the XBOX. Sure, you can run Windows 98 on an XBOX, but not without an emulator like BOCHS. If the XBOX hacking community cannot get windows to run on a X86 based XBOX architecture (which, I may add is based on 20+ years of well known design), how in the heck can we expect a hack to run on software that has been designed for a brand new, never before seen apple-X86 architecture?
I can personally attest to the fact that there are about 25 Juiceboxes at the Oakridge Mall Target in San Jose, CA. They are sitting on an endcap in the toy section. (2nd floor, far corner of the store).
The marked price is $12.48
There are also about 70 prerecorded cards (6-8 different titles) for $2.48 each. I picked up a "dexter's Lab", the rest were crap...Wrestling, extreme sports, last season's music videos, and an episode of Trading Spaces!!! (wtf?)
I also picked up what may have been the last "starter set" (this includes a 32mb SD card + cardreader + software + adaptor for the juicebox) for $11.48. Of course, if you do some digging, you might find another one.

Well, perhaps not any price, but I've seen quite a few comments regarding the "high" price of the Nano.

$249? I'll buy it they moment it lands at my local Apple store!
$249 for 4GB of flash, a music player and a screen is really not that bad. For example, The CHEAPEST 4GB USB drive I found on Amazon was $265.95...
