According to the Nikkei business daily, Sony is actively considering developing a 'PSP phone,' a mobile phone/gaming handheld hybrid, in an effort to compete with the astoundingly popular iPhone.

Doesn't psp have multiplatform games? Anyway, if the psp phone is anything like the other internet compatible phones, it will have a plan, with a set, included amount of download limit... which is usually less than 1gb

Not really, a game is specifically written for the handheld in question. Occasionally a PSP game has been ported to the PS2 (or maybe the PS3 afterwards)- like one of the Silent Hill games.
I guess for their new "download the games for the PSP" tact you will download the game thru your poot's ISP then transfer it via USB to your PSP- pretty much what you do with a hacked PSP anyway.

Wow, you're right (no offence meant), psp has entirely exclusive games (except for a few sports games). I guess if all ps3 games were released on psp then everybody would just buy a psp instead of a ps3 (not that anybody is buying a ps3).

and you can Overclock the porccessor via M33 FW?
I got the impression (from a quick squiz around) that the M33 firmwareresets the PSP's cpu fsb to it's factory propriety speed of 333MHz (see DXR88's table), that's because Sonyunderclock the thing by a whopping 33.3% to 222MHz! So that creates an impressive 50% leap in performance for users... not bad.
