A Beta service called AIMOnPSP is a new AOL INSTANT MESSENGER client for the Sony Playstation Portable.



What is AIMOnPSP?
AIMOnPSP is an AOL Instant Messenger client for the Sony Playstation Portable. The purpose of this project was to make a web-based AIM client that can be used in almost any browser that supports JavaScript (such as the one included in the new PSP firmware); it uses no Java or Flash. AIMOnPSP is a free service and runs from our server which means that you don't have to download anything or load anything onto your PSP in order to use it. Simply sign in using the form below and you'll be on your way to messaging your friends in no time.

AIMOnPSP is based off of the PHPTocLib, a php library that connects to the AOL servers.
 
internet and wireless tv for DS, email and Aol for PsP, and i believe there's way more to come look at the rate they're going in, what next? A 4.0 Megapixel Camera attachment for the psp? :P
 
Actually, I read a rumour that a camera attachment will be released for the PSP along with a software UMD. It might just be a hoax though ;)
 
Next PSP to get built-in camera, video streaming

The next version of Sony's PSP will sport an integrated digital video camera that will allow users to stream live video to the PlayStation 3, according to an anonymous source. The feature, which will utilize the PSP's Wi-Fi support, will be marketed as the new way to chat with friends while on the go.

According to the tipster, the "PSP 2" will also gain the recently rumored NAND flash storage, though the first generation of the new model will only be available with 4GB instead of the 8GB currently speculated. Sony will also trim approximately a quarter of inch from the device, and offer it in three color choices — black, white and silver.

Sources claim that the tiny camera will be an off-the-shelf stock unit that is currently being used in several Sony Ericsson mobile phones, and will also allow users to take still photos, in addition to video. Its placement will be directly below the PSP's screen, where the "PSP" logo can currently be found.

The new PSP's video streaming capabilities will be considered a must-have addition for Sony's upcoming PS3 console. While details are scant at this point, sources say the streaming will be made possible through the upcoming HUB PlayStation service, which will launch alongside the PS3 and compete directly with Microsoft's Xbox Live service.
