PSP design flaws

Andrea points to a few PSP flaws I have run into myself:

  • Analog button that is not well located;
  • Load time that can be too long sometimes;
  • Power key under the right hand that can turn off the PSP while playing;
  • Power led under the right hand so user do not see it blinking when running out of battery;

I’d like to add to this list the poor RSS support. New firmware supports RSS with enclosures but you have to be online to use it which makes it actually totally useless.

Besides that… this tool is awesome!

Mobile Center

A place where you can go and test your application with say at least fifty mobile devices out of the thousands that exists out there… I’d love to have that somewhere in Switzerland (does not exist to my knowledge) but that’s what they will have in South of France early 2006.

More informations soon on Paca Mobile Center

hAtom

While trying to finish to define some KAYWA standard microformats I ran into hAtom. Not a bad idea to take existing xml structure to add semantics to xhtml. It just sort of deprecates everything I have done so far…

Ah well…

Then there will be the Structured Blogging initiative to handle appropriately…

PSP addiction

This toy is really dangerous. There is two of them in KAYWA’s office now (Roger’s and mine)… and guess what ? you might heard more about here in the future… I am totally addicted!
Roger already suggested two links that explains the design process for the PSP. Not much change than for a normal web site just uses a CSS that would handle a 480 pixels screen width!

I have also found an emulator though I did not succeed yet to have it working, but does not really matter since the PSP browser is as powerful as any desktop browser, resizing your desktop browser is the best emulator :-) I also found a way to read RSS feeds with MioMediaBox.

Back to my game now… I mean to work :-)

Testing Performancing

Testing a Firefox plugin that lets you publish on your blog within your browser. It works with WordPress and apparently also with KAYWA :-)
When setting up a new blog just choose “WordPress (custom)” and that will do it! They apparently use the MetaWeblog API.
