Despite the lack of PSP-related activities and updates at this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2007, Sony is making sure to let everyone know that they are not neglecting their own handheld console.

PSP updates - hardware versus software. Though the possibility of any hardware update is still mostly vague, Sony's product manager John Koller promises that the evolution of the PSP will be done through its software, since it has, afterall, gone through 13 firmware updates since it was first released in 2005.

Sony: eye on homebrew community. Asked whether the PSP will ever have features which were first made available via homebrew, Koller admits that yes, Sony has been keeping an eye on what the homebrew community has been up to: "Future firmware revisions may incorporate some of the additions that custom firmware users have been able to enjoy."

In fact, Koller even points out that "RSS is actually from homebrew."

On the other hand though, the chances of getting other much-awaited functions such as full resolution AVC support and a PSP movie download service still remain bleak, and no new developments for these features have been mentioned.
