I'm not sure that any of these proposed features are going to do much--if anything--to sell more PSPs. And I sure as hell am not going to sacrifice all my 1.5 love for the ability to make clumsy phone calls. Hell, that's what I've got a cell phone for. :-)

I'm really disinterested in internet connectivity on my PSP. I know, I may be in the minority here, but while it's a nifty feature, I'm concerned primarily with game quality. So far, the only game I've bought that I felt was fully worth the purchase price was VP: Lenneth. And to be fair, that was essentially a port of a PS1 game.

Which brings us to the PS1 emulator--the official one, that is. This may be the killer app for the PSP. In one fell swoop, Sony is going to multiply many times over the PSP software base. Look at the "what ps1 games do you want emulated?" thread to see how excited PSP users are about the prospect. If Sony is willing to keep the prices low--in the $5 to $10 range--then I think they'll have a winner on their hands. And if not, as I'm sure we all think is more likely, some coder will either reverse-engineer the official emu, or scratch code one of equivalent quality, and we'll all have our PS1 games without Sony seeing another dime out of the deal.

I want to see the PSP succeed, I really do. I love all the things I can do with mine. One of those things, sadly, is *not* play content specifically for the PSP. I love emulated GBA: better quality screen and brighter image than my poor little GBASP. Emulated SNES is better than the real thing--state saves chief among the reasons. Being able to play PS1 games on the go would make me ecstatic. I just hope Sony is able to keep going with it.
