I was just over at (dun dun duuunnn) PSPupdates, and saw this interesting bit of news. And on top of it, the creator is lookin for company support to get it into production! Quote:
We got a lovely surprise over at our QJ Forums. What you see there is above is the video demo of liornetwork's "phonechip for the PSP."
The setup can't make phone calls yet. But it can receive calls and show you the strength of the signal. And Lior promises improvements: "I'm still working on how to resize it and get it to a mass production."
What does the future have in store? Here's what Lior has planned:
* X1 antenna
* X1 board
* headsets with microphone
* X2 wires
* X1 32 MB memory stick
* the antenna to connect to the local network
On the board will be a switch to switch bet wen CDMA network (without SIM card) and the GSM network (with the SIM card). The wires are used to connect the board and the antenna to the PSP. The 32MB memory stick will contain the program itself (to call), backup of the program (just to be safe), and a list of contacts.
And it looks like Lior has big dreams for this setup. Lior's looking for donations or even for a company to back this project so that it can be mass-produced. Lior's estimate of the selling price of the final product? $60.
If you want to show this to your friends, you can grab the Lior's video from our download site (link below).
| People with skills like this put me in awe... its crazy.

It says it will work with the headpieces like Socom uses, with the microphone. So.. you wont have to look like a retard with the psp to your ear, lol.
