Utilities on the Playstation Store in 2010 ...

Since the beginning of the existence of the PSP, Sony has improved its system firmware (scientific name of the firmware) in order to add still more features. In general, without making a bad spirit, the underground world has always been one step ahead of the giant Nippon via the opportunities provided by various existing Custom Firmwares. Nevertheless, Sony, gradually trying to offer its official firmware features equivalent or better, as far as possible.

It is true that Custom Firmware is not a tool for pirates to use illegally downloaded games, but a platform for a multitude of things as diverse and varied. It is especially these possibilities (emulation utiltaires as psptube, etc..) Attract users not to pirate PSP Custom Firmware and Sony has understood.

After opening the PSP games more modest, Minis, here is that Sony seems to want to get on the PSP applications other than games. Digital Comics is the first illustration.

As you can see in this image Sony has planned for the second quarter of 2010 the availability of development kits "non-game". It remains to be seen how this provision will, but knowing Sony, it will not be free nor easy. Just look towards the process of online Minis to understand that we are still far from the easy access offered by Apple developers. Too bad because with the pool of developers who are underground, the PSP could overflow of good applications and games, so Sony was more open.

It is also possible to ask what applications are expected to PSP by the general public who have difficulty in using skype. A priori, the first of all is probably a utility to play videos on youtube or other video content providers. If an application is anticipated, arguably much it.

To see what Sony chooses to pass.

Wait and see ...
