According to a Marketing magazine report, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) plans to launch a music service specifically for the PSP, which is expected to arrive in Europe and the US in March."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/psp_graphic.jpg" /><br /><br />Though this isn't entirely digital media related, it's rather interesting nonetheless. Especially when you consider that may analysts are expecting the PSP to give the iPod a run for its money as it vies for space inside consumers pockets. Could music download capability give the PSP an edge?

On overpriced Memory Stick Duos? I think not. Had Sony given the PSP an 8mm DVD drive it'd have been a totally different beast; as it stands it's a great portable console that could have been a great portable multimedia device.

Heck, stick in the Palm OS on the side and it'd be a great PDA too. =P
