RSS iTunes To The PSP
I was looking for an article at my local library (Google.com) for a PSP server that I heard about. Basically some developers were trying to run a sight hosted off of a Sony PSP. I was trying to see if they had gotten it to work but instead found a PSP iTunes RSS Server. This amazing little program turns your iTunes playlists into RSS feeds that allow you to play your iTunes Library on you Sony PSP. You can stream 100 MP3 or AAC files with this program and you can create different playlists for unlimited RSS feeds. This is just one step closer to the Sony PSP becoming an all in one streaming multimedia device.

29MP4 Video Store Review
When I read on a PSP news sight that 29HD Network was opening a pay-per-video download service I had two words: Thank You. This is exactly what I have been waiting for since I bought my PSP last March. 29MP4 Video Store allows you to purchase movies encoded in .MP4 format. I did not want to just write about it being released but I wanted to try out the service for myself. The first movie I purchased was Immortal because the synopsis looked interesting then after googling and seeing the trailer for the movie I knew I found a winner. Registering was a breeze and then I was taken to the download area with a disclaimer. The download automatically starts after you hit ok and it has a window behind that says download here if you have any problems so I suggest to leave that open until your download is finished. No problem there. Immortal was in a .zip file and as soon as it is uncompressed it has the .MP4, a .THM file and instructions for installing it on the PSP. I start up the movie and the quality is great. Even with the compression the movie has great contrast and the sound is loud enough to here without earphones (it sounds ten times better with them of course). The file size was only 368mb which is convenient because I only have a 512mb memory stick. Overall my experience with the 29MP4 Video Store was amazing. It is a lot better then taking my DVDs and waiting half an hour or so for it decrypt (is that legal if I own them?) then 4 or more hours for it to converting in .MP4 file. I will definitely buy more from them and hope they will add more films in the future.
