Freakdave has released an updated version of his port of Abombniball to the PSP, heres the details:

v2 release:
- Added: Digital Pad is now working (Menu and Ingame)
- Added: Easy Mode - Play with a disabled timer
- Added: Quit to Menu anytime by pressing START

The objective of Abombniball is to defuse all the explosives on each level. As a ball, this would normally be a simple task, however each level is filled with traps and devious puzzles placed there
by...oh...lets say "Dr. Y-Front", your arch-nemesis (he's very evil). These traps take the form of special tiles which disappear or do other nasty things.

"Now i release my latest game "Planet Fighter"!

It's a pretty fast game, that's requires fast thinking. There is just three levels for now, thats why the second and the third are peretty hard. Stay in touch for more updates. The controls are pretty obvious, but check the ReadMe.txt for controls."

So you want to play GameGear and Master System classics on your PSP but you have upgraded your firmware. It's a common problem, with users of Sony's portable often held in flux between the path of upgrade righteousness and seedy blackmarket emulation.

Well now, the problem has been solved, with BenQ, maker of some of SPOnG's favourite PC monitors and probably some other stuff in other offices in other places, revealing the truly awesome Joybee EG10, an MP3 player preloaded with ten amazing Sega titles.

We're not entirely sure if you, our humble reader, will be as excited at the prospect of the Joybee EG10 as we are. That's probably because you're not as clever as us, as we've explained to our wives, girlfriends, boyfriends and significant others. You see, although it's going to cost about £150 and we already have 26 MP3 players, four Master Systems and and impressive five GameGears between us, that's not the point. The games alone the Joybee EG10 comes pre-loaded with are, taking into account cost of living hikes and inflation, worth about £500! Add this to the £350 in hardware and you'll find that everyone buying a Joybee EG10 actually makes £700!

Hmm this isnt actually an addon for the PSP but a seperate piece of hardware, check out the screenshot via comments ...

The folks at PlayStation 3 Portal have been gathering news from a few of their trusty (yet anonymous) sources regarding the hardware of the PlayStation 3. The following, they claim, have been "validated by multiple sources that are involved in early PS3 development." Nothing is confirmed and Sony had definitely had time to alter these statistics, if true, but in the meantime here is what the Portal has learned:
A "'Blade' like pane that can appear on the right hand side of the screen" that represents the PS3's always-running OS (similar to the Xbox 360's Dashboard).
One will be able to use voice chat "across all games, even outside of the gamers own UI."
The OS will always utilize 1 of 7 SPEs on the Cell chip, and the option to "take" another when needed -- "games have to give it up if requested." In terms of RAM, the OS will use 18.75% of all available RAM (32mb of GDDR3 memory from the RSX chip, 64mb of the XDR memory from the Cell).
The information presented is interesting, to say the least. The new trend in consoles having a constantly running operating system is blurring the line between console and PC gaming. Fortunately, it seems the PlayStation 3 should be more than powerful enough to run both the OS and a game simultaneously.

Apple has reportedly run into trouble with its upcoming video iPod, where it can’t seem to get the display and touchscreen interface to work properly, according to Think Secret. The Apple rumors website reported that Apple had hoped to deliver the new video iPod in April, but sources said Apple engineers decided to redesign a balky touchscreen on the iPod, which allegedly includes a wide screen display spanning across the width of the device and uses a virtual trackwheel.

Think Secret also asserted that Apple may have foreseen technical problems with the new video iPod in February, and that might be the reason why it hasn’t aggressively pursued rights deals with Hollywood studios for full-length movie downloads. We think Apple also might be waiting to see what happens with other movie download sites before it jumps in to the movie downloading fray.
