really pisses me off that something like this isn’t available in the us……guess they think there won’t exactly be demand for it.

yeah, i guess. Im not sure how it works… Is it a UMD or a TOOL you attacht to your psp. Because if it was a umd, you could just simply donwload iti guess, if the firmware 2.0 isnt required yet, but i wouldnt think that would be the case. And i dont know if the psp has a mic included, i guess not, so itll proberly be a tool, am i right?

why should we care about this if it isnt even released in the US? and i doubt anyone would buy this anyways.

you didn’t get it. ppl, this is first psp-tool ever using usb for anything! imaging things can be done with just this mic (psp-dictaphone for example) or with some other external tools (psp-wifi-skype client, huh?;)

woow thats so amazing im going to buy one there so cheap and i love seeing wot launguage they can speak thats the worst thing made for the psp

Great job Sony. Im the number one assistant manager. ALSO I will close down this site , for illegaly hacking. Thank you

Sony

Actually #6 ur just an idiot. No one here is hacking, and your also not working for Sony. PPL from Sony arenot allowed to visit internet sites like this, and you wouldn’t tell us either that your closing this site down you would just go tell ur boss that wein fact did nothing wrong, and to top it off ITS A FREE WORLD, no 1 controls the internet or its flow of information,(believe me iv’e tried,). ROFLMAO! You Dumb Shit you really think you can close this site down? Even if u wernet just a stupid noob kid that thinks this is a funny joke.
Fuck you and may ur psp get bricked Bitch!

impersonator and idiot alert @ #6. I love the talkman, I wish it was here.

#7, fool. Whilst I may agree it’s unlikely that #6 is for real, I also think you are misinformed.

It’s not a free world.

“No one controls the internet”?!

What gave you that idea? I suppose you’re right in that no single authority controls the ‘net, however, you’re wrong in that laws still apply, depending on the location of the server.

For example, if this website is hosted in Sealand (google it) then it wouldn’t be a problem and there’d be nothing Sony could do, as copyright laws don’t apply there. However, if the site is on a server in some country where the law states that its activities are illegal, then they can get in hot water.

hey,

if this release is earlier than v2.0 and the microphone plugs in through the USB port… it appears that there must be some sort of USB controller. At first I thought this controller was only one way, but with this knowledge, it may be possible to use the USB controller like the mic does, and hook up a USB disk drive directly into the PSP’s USB port.

o man i would love this to learn jap

*11 Yeah that would be pretty pimp learnin whatever language u want on ur PSP! I really don’t see why they don’t release this in the states cept for the fact they are being greedy and the only thing they release in the u.s. is crap they think they can make a killing on in profits. I mean if they didnt think anybody would buy it from the states then they’d at least have a u.s. version availible for mail orders ;/ cheap ass sony bitches:/ but then agian maybey its just sony of america so cheap ass sony of america bitches ;/

I wish the sony in the states wuz more like sony in korea cuz they couldnt even wait for 2.0 firmware to come out they released a UMD only for their country 2 use the net on their 1.5’s. damn that’s some good PSP support there!

Umm…..
Why exactly is this posted here?
I expect this news on PSPU, but not on a site devoted for homebrew :/

We do feature general psp news on things that we think are cool. This was posted mainly because it involves a mic attachment.

why dont we send a message to sony and tell them to MAKE THAT CRAP HERE CUZ I WANNA LEARN JAPANESE!

why dont we send a message to sony and tell them they are killing profits not making that thing here

Does this also have a camera on it? are is it just a mic…?

Whats next? Karaoke version of Lumines? (I know all the words to the shinin’ song!)

considering this is for japan.. chinnese and korean is prominite languages here..

so for the US release id expect to at least have spanish and french..

interesting program that converts a language on the go… just shows that psp is more then a game console…. finnaly.

I’d have to agree with # 19. It’s hard to find an interpreter now a days with all the different languages being spoken. And most find it more suitable to their own wim to try and make you learn THEIR language :P. But, since it IS a portable and you WOULD have it pretty much wherever you go, then it make a nice handy attachment :D It’d also be pretty good for taking memos too ;)

Yeah, thats correct, but, it just occured to me, if there is a mic, does that mean that games like singstar are possible, because i think that is just superfun in groups, that would be damn cool. I would buy it, if it supported french, spanish, german english… Just like a portable dictionary as some have said

Well what Iam waiting for is Voip for PSP, like Skype, they could release it on umd or even make a homebrew voip app.
That will be cool and useful.
If Sony releases a Voip app for PSP we may have to up grade our firmware again.:-( 1.5 or version 2.00 all the way

ummm yea people im no ”extreme” gamer but i know that the government owns the internet because they were the ones who made it so yea and also he can’t do anything about your site

umm..i have bought yesterday the talkman (i m living in korea)….and i have japanese PSP v1.50..and it doesnt work !

the UMD doesnt want to boot and an error message appears..so i just can guess i need to upload to v2.0 my psp to use talkman (v2.0 update is available on the UMD)..

That seems preety correct, but, actually, who realy want talkman as it is, i mean, its just to boring to buy it, to waiste money on it, i would want a software to be able to play flash on the net, isoloader 2.0 and a mic, photocamera and fucking icq^^, but, as it seems, this aint in progress, at least not all, so, lmao, nothing gonna happen…

OMFG!!!…I am so pissed to hear that this isn’t gonna be out in the states!…Damn, I would be one of the 1st to get this. I would love to learn the Japanese language not to mention the cool things you could do with the mic!!!…Damnit all!!!…I want! I guess I’ll have to order it from Japan but I really wish I could buy it here…how about we all do a petition thing saying that we want it here in the US?…Cuz Japan’s awesome and so is they’re music and we should be able to get what they get!….and check out guys like Gackt….man I would love to be able to talk to some japanese people in their language.

maybe sony is in progress of making a talk man for the states and are still doing research on wat type of languages are needed to get the intrest of US psp owners. for me i would want spanish/chinese/french/japanese,maybe japan is going to come out with those here in US, if they would just be kind enough to do so that is

Hey people if you watched kung fu hustle youl die to get a talkman to learn the chinese language
ps:kung fu hustle is the best movie and must be seen by everyone

i heard the talkman is gaonna come out in europe in different languages all i remember is spanish and italian
