There are so many posts about this already and i reckon it is a stupid idea.Why would you want to watch films on a 2.2inch screen i don see the point, if anything they should release more skins for it or compatability formore formats.

I think you'll find the next upgrade to the VP will be a new model.

Sony rarely upgrade anything after you've purchased it (unless it's for their benefit), they are a consumer electronic & media company - they want you to buy a new one.

Yes and considering it has been a long long time since they bought out the original update it kinda tells you that they no longer have it at the top of their priority list.The PSP is getting all the attention at the moment as they try to secure its system software from crackers who want to run "homebrew" on their PSP such as emulators or web browsers etc.

It's a shame Sony don't encourage some of this 'modification'. Most of these things make their devices more desirable - not less. It's in the Sony mindset not to share any information - that's what killed the Clie in Europe & the USA.

I have a clie TH55 and i love it, it is a huge dissapoinment that Sony discontinued them in Europe as i believe they were the best PDA's on the market and by far the best looking.I think their price let them down though.

We need compatiblity with MACs godammit! If ipods work with PCs why not VAIOs with Macs?

I heard Sony and Apple are getting into bed together now so hopefully Sony will make a sonicstage for Mac. I can only pray.

Ok thats fair enough but a 2.2inch screen wouldnt realy give them justice.Im not saying video on it is a bad idea im just saying that it hasnt realy got the kind o screen that i would want to watch a movie on.

I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a white hot pointed stick than contaminate my powerbook with SonicStage

It might be I bit uncomfortable to be a film in a 2.2 inches screen, but better than nothing, isn't it?

You could also see the videos of the songs you're listening to.

It would be a great point to make people buy VP but I don't think they're gonna do it.

I never thought of music videos thats a good idea, however that would seriously limit the ammount of songs you could have on it.Say a 3 miniute song is 4mb if you were to add the video to that it would take it up to beyond 10mb or whatever.Basically it will take up more storage for videos than it does for just the music files.

Re: Videofirmware

Unai — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 15:14:56 GMT

but 40GB it's enought espace to storage videos, don't think?

Re: Videofirmware

febs — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 15:18:19 GMT

Maybe for you but some people have 0000's of songs and so if they were to have videos for all of those songs then it would take up lots and lots and lots of space.

Hopefully the PSP will beat the VAIO Pocket - shame they don't make a pocket hard disk for it
