12. RSS Channel automatically downloads movies, images and audio Podcasts, and
fancasts, are a big deal. PSP can subscribe to a wide variety of video and audio podcasts, and can even be scheduled to download them automatically via a wireless connection: no need to sync to a computer. PSP Fanboy regulars know that they can subscribe to RSS feeds for
Saturday Background Explosion,
PSP Fanboy Theatre, and of course, the
PlayStation Fancast.
13. Remote Play with PS3 It took a while for it to work, but now that it does, we can only conclude one thing:
it is awesome. Those lucky enough to have a PS3 will be able to stream not only music, photos and videos from their consoles ... but also play
select games. Being able to access all this content from anywhere in the world makes it one of the coolest tech-related things we've done in recent memory.
14. Location Free Player streams TV to PSPThis rarely-used feature allows you to
stream television to your PSP, from anywhere in the world. It works similarly to your PS3's Remote Play feature, but it works with live television. Sure, it involves purchasing a
$150 accessory, but this is great for people that really need to watch the latest game ... using their office wireless connection.
15. Customizable wallpaper (and XMB icons)Everyone loves a little bit of customization. Our popular
Saturday Background Explosion proves that. Ever since firmware 2.0, users have been easily been able to add a new wallpaper to their PSP -- a feature that's still sorely missing on the PS3. Homebrew users also have the ability to change the icons and fonts in their XMB, going even further into customization.
