| Sony must be in double digits with the number of firmware upgrades they've released for the PSP since its launch!!
A shame other manufacturers can't be as prolific in updating / tweaking the functionality of their devices...
.
Take Creative for example.. I personally have the lovely Zen Vision:M ipod 5 killer... yet it's had just 2 upgrades since it came out.. one of them to restore functionality that they stupidly removed in a previous firmware, because they were wimps towards the RIAA.. - only getting the balls to restore the radio record function after having it pointed out to them that the 'ability' to record radio is initself NOT illegal.
But what about other audio / video formats or gapless playback or crossfading from 1 track to another? or txt etc etc...
ALL these things are being SCREAMED at them from their loyal users wanting it - on a device that COULD do it if it was programmed to do so via firmware upgrades... yet they seemingly ignore them!!!
Same with Canon... in the 3 years the Pro1 was out it received just ONE firmware upgrade!!!
So whilst Sony might be accused of being overly 'fussy' with thier PSP, a round of applause should go out to them for not merely launching a product then forgetting about it..
Hype
