Sony's PSP Evolves
Sony Computer Entertainment president and CEO Ken Kutaragi has confirmed plans to offer a variety of peripherals and special features for the company's upcoming handheld device entitled "PSP - PlayStation Portable." In an interview with Weekly International News this week, Kutaragi-san revealed that Sony plans to release a digital camera and wireless phone adapter for the device. Explaining the multipurpose device Kutaragi-san said, "We often call it the next-generation Walkman because it can perform many things. Not only will it be a form of entertainment but a valuable communications device."
In associated news, Kutaragi-san was asked about the data encryption implications of the PSP's UMD (Universal Media Disc) format. In response he said, "The PlayStation group realized that besides games other contents would me made available on UMD, so we sought the opinions of content providers on the format. From the beginning it was decided that the PSP would utilize stronger AES (Advanced Encryption Standards). Various forms of protection which I can't divulge will be incorporated into the physical media itself. So we've included not only the necessary semiconductors for the PSP but also copy protection measures in the hardware. Software piracy won't be a problem if the protection system is as complicated as the one planned for PSP."
