Sony's been working hard recently to convince us that the PSP is an all-singing, all-dancing portable device - it keeps releasing
better versions of the hardware, not to mention what it's doing in terms of the
PlayStation Store and the
video on demand Go!View store.
And now it's even got a bit of thirdparty encouragement with mobile widget provider Mojocafe adding PSP support for its smartphone gizmos.
To be honest, the idea's nice and simple as any device that runs Flash 6 and has a bigger than 320 x 240 pixel screen should be able to handle the technology.
All you have to do is register online with your email address at
mojocafe.net and you'll be provided with a six digit PIN. Log in, and then you can select up to four widgets - as yet the selection isn't huge but includes the likes of clocks, calendars, Yahoo! Weatherstation, some newsfeeds, webcam feeds - such as New York, Chile, San Francisco - and a flickr photo feed. You can set the transition time between these - anything from 30 seconds to 10 minutes .
Then load up your PSP browser in the direction of mojocafe.net, enter your email and pin via the clunky soft keyboard and click the Start Mojos button. (Note, you can only select the mojos via PC.)
Users of the original PSP-1000 should beware that you might have to tweak your PSP memory settings, especially if you have chosen four feeds that require an internet connection, but after a bit of toing and froing and swapping of mojos, it all worked swimmingly.
You can also check out the
Mojocafe devblog or
RSS feed to see when new mojos are released. And, of course, Mojocafe works on mobile phones such as the N95 and and web tablets such as the N800 series.
