When our regular Friday Freebie feature began, none of us predicted that one day we would be writing about chocolate covered pork scratchings. But then freebies are anything but predictable.

The new FeedYourPSP feed is out now and available for free download. And the second in the series includes a run-down of bizarre junk food that will be 'big in 2007', including such nauseating delights as deep-fried cheesecake, deep-fried Coca Cola balls, fried Oreo ice cream Sunday and, of course, the aforementioned chocolate covered pork scratchings.

But it's not all about inducing heart failure; this latest Feed also includes interviews with Scottish noisniks The View and Aston Villa's fresh-faced Ashley Young. Style conscious PSP users will also no doubt delight at Henry Holland and Ruby Warrington's fashion lessons for 2007. Apparently the 'in' colour for men this year is 'acid fusion mix'. If anyone has any idea what this is, we'd love to know.

DS freebies are rarer than door-to-door fire breathing unicorn Wii salesmen these days, which is why we are turning to the murky world of homebrew, where workaholic DS coder DragonMinded has just released an update for his handy DS organizer application, DSOrganize.

The new v2.7 Alpha build includes a ton of features such as scribble pad, To Do list and an html editor. By DragonMinded's own admission this is a "very dirty release, so use it at your own risk"; so only for those who know their DevHooks from their Downgraders. (For more such stuff, see our latest DS Homebrew Review).

As for mobiles, we could always list what's new on free mobile games sites Gamejump or RumbleX, but seasoned freebie hunters should already know those resources like the back of their handset. So instead, why not check out our story on Tangram's new free casual games community Dobo? The service is not available in the UK quite yet, but according to Tangram it is on its way soon.

That's it for this week. If you are a regular Friday Freebie reader, click 'Track It!' to make sure you don't miss next week's edition. If this is the first Friday Freebie you've come upon, then a treasure trove of archived Freebies await you. Enjoy!
