RE: Some completely useless facts about the PSP that you really don't
Uhm, just so you know - the camera mode does NOT turn the PSP into a Host. The PSP is not capable of being a USB host.

It does, however, turn the PSP into a different type of USB client device (Thus Windows detecting it as an audio device - if it were a host too, NOTHING would happen) and the camera itself is a psuedo-host, and looks for a client device of whatever Vendor/Device ID, and sends it data. The PSP then decodes the data via PRX, just like it were a host.

If the PSP could be a host, wee'd have external HDD cables already, because all wee'd need is to redirect the FAT/FAT32 PRX and ms0:/ to the USB port, just like DaX redirected UMD access to your ISO files.. I've been working on developing hardware for the PSP for a DIY interface to an external HDD for a while now, my problem is locating low-cost components and financial backing for testing...so I do know a bit about what I'm saying, here.

Also, interesting facts there, though I suspect it's not firmware-limited speeds on photo, etc, as much as that they likely use the second chipset within the PSP (as they do for MP3s, etc - and as SNES9x TYL does for its sound) to handle it.
