Sony has revised its PlayStation Portable console yet again. This time they’ve removed the UMD drive to make the brand new PSP Go speedier and lighter than its predecessors.


Though the disc drive has been abandonded, games will be easy to download via the online PlayStation Store and saved in the console’s built-in 16 GB memory.


Additionally, it has Wi-Fi capabilities and now supports Bluetooth, allowing the PSP Go to link with compatible wireless headsets speakers, mobile phones and PlayStation 3 controllers.


Sony’s new console was designed for the habitual digital downloader of music, photos, movies and, of course, games. Unfortunately, the PSP Go has a lofty price tag of $249. The console is now available at retailers.

Digital Bookworm

Sony announced a new online website, WordsMoveMe.com, for literature lovers to share their favorite passages with other bookworms, while simultaneously unveiling the electronic company’s new e-book reader, the Sony Reader Daily Edition.

 

While the 7-inch touch screen e-book unit provides users with access to Sony’s bookstore, the website works much like Twitter, wherein users type and post excerpts up to 255 characters long. Users can also include tags as well as a book’s title and author.

 

According to TechCrunch.com, “the problem is that right now it is a self-contained site. Facebook and Twitter integration are coming ‘in phase 2’.”

 

The Reader Daily will debut in December at a cost of $399, so don’t discard your library card just yet.
