Improved PSP
Sony has announced an improved version of the PlayStation Portable (PSP) that will go on sale October 16 in Japan and a little later in the U.S. and Europe.
The new version will have an improved liquid crystal display and a built-in microphone that will probably be used with Skype.
The PSP has had some tough competition from Nintendo DS. Sony has sold about 41 million PSP machines globally and Nintendo has sold 77.5 million Nintendo DS so it’s time for Sony to upgrade their PSP.

A Swiss airline pilot flew over the English Channel yesterday. His name is Yves Rossy and the 22-mile flight took him only 10 minutes.
“He started by jumping out of a small, French plane and quickly flipped on the jet pack. From there he attempted to follow the route Louis Blériot took 99 years ago when he became the first man to cross the Channel in a plane. Once over his target, he simply parachuted down.”
