Sony Turns PSP Into Music Player

Speaking in California today at the 2006 Game Developer's Conference, Yair Landau, vice chairman of Sony Pictures, revealed Sony's plan to transform the PSP into a legitimate music player.

After the system launches in North America at the end of the month, the company will make available software that will allow users to download songs from its Connect music service. Initially, the software will run on the PSP and use WiFi to download songs directly to the Memory Stick. Later this year, the company plans to release software that will let the PSP link to PCs and Macs.
