Sony released the PSP Go on October 1, 2009 in the USA to much criticism and skepticism. The PSP Go is Sony’s first attempt at a pure digital distribution based handheld console. Prior PSP models used both Memory Stick and UMDs for game playing. The PSP Go forgoes the UMD drive for a smaller, sleeker slider design. It also adds Bluetooth connectivity, 16GB of onboard flash ram for games, photos, music, and comics and also sports an upgraded M2 memory card slot. The biggest shocker of all was the price, $250 US Dollars; the Go was more expensive than a Wii and only $50 less than a PS3 or XBOX 360 at the time of launch.
There are times when maintaining Outlook can be an overwhelming experience.

The Sony PSPGo is the latest PSP gaming console offering by Sony. Several distinctions/changes have been made to this PSP revision; the main items being that the UMD disc drive was removed in favor of 16gb of flash memory and bluetooth connectivity was introduced. One feature that bluetooth added was the ability to connect a PS3 system controller to the PSPGo to use and play games/navigate the XMB interface. This can be very handy if you use your PSPGo on a dock/cradle for music or video playback.
