PSPhone!


This is one of the coolest hacks I've witnessed in a long time - providing it is indeed fact and not speculation, of course. Lior over in the qj forums has apparently designed & developed a phone chip for the PSP, thus the name "PSPhone." Though currently unable to make outgoing calls, this contraption is able to receive incoming calls, and display the current signal strength! PSPhone is also capable of communicating over both CDMA & GSM cellular networks.

Quoted from Lior:

I'm still working on how to resize it and get it into a mass production.

The pack will contain:

  • X1 antenna
  • X1 board
  • headsets with microphone
  • X2 wires
  • X1 32 mega memory stick

The antenna to connect to the local network. On the board will be a switch to switch between CDMA network (without sim card) and the GSM network (with the sim card). The wires are to connect the board and the antenna to the PSP. All will cost approximately more or less than $60

Watch the prototype video:

nice.

pretty soon the psp could pretty much do everything

Thats Crazy

Wow!! that was the only thing it was missing!! Dayum!!

cool app. good to see something different.i personally find it useless. everybody and there mom has a damn cell phone. if you could dial 911, maybe you got something. but for now, dont fuckin call me when im playin PSP!

this could go well with my gps i have on the psp:), price seems cool to

Lol, I know it's only an early version... so the real one will be alot smaller and whatever- but imaging carrying all THAT around.Thanks

cool.. a game player, video, audio player, portable computer, and gps.. and now a phone? could anyone please confirmed if somebody is making an ATM inside the psp.. think about this... you need money to buy a car in GTA, then whola, instant 500 $ out of the umd drive :)

how would it actually interact with the network? I'm no expert but you'd have to program it some how? even if it was gsm and what kind of app would you use to dial and how does the psp interact with the hardware? shouldn't there be some sort of control interaction? if not why not just make a really small cell phonenad keep the psp out of it? I just don't get it. you'd have to elabourate. but if i'm missing something. I'm real sorry agian I'm no expert.Keep it real

Ngage anyone?

cool! handphone on ur PSP! but i wonder how's the battery life. (sure totally sucks~) I rather having one handphone with camera and a PSP. XD

the only good thing that would be useful from this is internet on the psp anywhere

GPS.... How... i saw a post a while aback but it was a lot of shit to carry around and couldnt really find any info on how to set uit up( dont mind all the extra stuff if its in my car ect....please post a link or something that i can set it up of off....THANKS!!!ophh and very cool with the cell lol ;)

well i got firmware 0.1 its gotta hidden device on system settings its a setting so if u enabled it u cud signal the army 2 send misiles n blow up parts of iraq but u need 2 use psp gps 2 get the right position lol

Fucken Eh!!! Its good to see that the homebrew scene is growing a lot. To all the homebrew and hackers keep up the good work.(+[__]::)

Lets hope this isn't a failure like the Gaygage (Ngage) for you nubs

video didn't help much

I've seen better ufo videos than that one. Who could make out anything in that?

wtf is it with ppl n fukin moan this n moan that have sum fukin patients u can talk ur bullshit

On the video there is no connection with USB, so what is this "phone" thing? How does it interact with PSP?

keedier, that is the dumbest comment ive read in quite some time. you are an idiot, and u make me sick.

Wow what a shit video. I saw sure alot .. a psp connected to a whole lot of crap - that really proves the concept .... Fucking stupid idea why would i want to use my PSP as a phone when I own a mobile?Sometimes devs take it to far - its really pathetic.

Well im intrested in trying out a VoIP software on my PSP so if anyone has one please contact me via the forum ;)

Yo where the hell can i get that gps for my psp?

Use GPRS or EDGE for massive damage.

yo shitmod, dont u get it? theyre just tryin to get the most out of that hardshell.. its not their fault theyre not as ingenius as YOU ARE.. better appreciate little things like this rather than putting it down! Got both thumbs up and wavin for Lior!

Next we need a mod that will turn to PSP into a personal microwave oven/slushie maker. Mmmm, microwaved burritos and slushies.

just wondering, so i can see how it would work with gsm but since cdma like verizon uses esn # for it to work, would you program the esn to the psPhone? if so wouldnt that be like a huge security risk for companys like verizon? being able to access the network with anyones esn? just a thought still a really cool idea, imagine calling your friends psp to tell em to get on so you can race em on a game or something. amazing!

Friging Awsome, GJ but you know as soon as you finish Sony will make ther own version :)

Yes Xinio, better watch out for Sony copycats - we all know what happened when they saw that Wii controller...^Doody

Do you ever think that some people have far too much time on their hands?

What the hell, Did i just watch a ALIEN autopsy from 1945? Whats with the SHIT video???? Get a GOD DAMN GOOD CAMERA!!!

thats not gonna work

Even if it works, then it seems pretty damn useless to me, i already got a phone to make calls, and i prefer carrying my phone with my all the time, then my psp.

thats the gayest shit ive ever seen

what can't the psp do ? this is awesome . keep up lior keep up .

i would just want internet anywere. phone would be pointless. just get unlimited internet anywere

NICE!! also could you just use the socom microphone and connect it into there to make calls?

Ok first of all I'd like to just say that his crappy camera isnt the point, so let it go people. Overall its a pretty sweet concept though. Redundent?? sure. Does it matter?? nope, its all about seeing what that little beasts hardware is capable of.So if this is for real, good job Lior. Looking forward to a follow up on the project.

whats with the video, i think i saw big foot running by.

Why is it that the people that make these hacks film everything in "bigfoot vision". Come one.. if you are serious, get something better than a cellphone to make your movie showing off your world shattering invention. I vote that this is a fake.

SIDE TALKIN!

if its a fake ya da fuck would it be hosted here? uh! dumbass get real

thats hot! i dont think i like the price though. but still its worth it. i just wish they install it into the psp and u can call people from anywhere. hopefully someday. great work!!

That's a neat idea, but the video doesn't explain very much.

Bunch of ass...

useless

tottly gay and not true and if it is the guy needs to get laid and stop sticking his dick into his psp p.s gayest camerea job eva must be fake

If you build this, and it works, I'll buy it at once.

i think the guy is watching himself jerk off on front of the screen after showing his dismantle vivrator attached to the psp.....thats what i think...
