Sony PSP gets TV capability

Japanese are a lucky lot as Sony has just announced that it will make available a 1Seg Tuner device for the PSP in the near future. All you need to do is hook up this device to the PSP’s USB port in the same manner as the current GPS receiver and camera add-ons for instant portable TV. The 1Seg Tuner will be released this September at the recommended retail price of $57. Bear in mind this is compatible only with the new PSP-2000 redesign (slimmer and lighter), so owners of the current PSP will just have to make do without unless they opt for a new purchase.
