PSPhone!

Posted by greg

This is one of the coolest hacks I’ve witnessed in a long time - providing it is indeed fact and not speculation, of course. Lior over in the qj forums has apparently designed & developed a phone chip for the PSP, thus the name “PSPhone.” Though currently unable to make outgoing calls, this contraption is able to receive incoming calls, and display the current signal strength! PSPhone is also capable of communicating over both CDMA & GSM cellular networks.

Quoted from Lior:

I’m still working on how to resize it and get it into a mass production.

The pack will contain:

  • X1 antenna
  • X1 board
  • headsets with microphone
  • X2 wires
  • X1 32 mega memory stick

The antenna to connect to the local network. On the board will be a switch to switch between CDMA network (without sim card) and the GSM network (with the sim card). The wires are to connect the board and the antenna to the PSP. All will cost approximately more or less than $60

Watch the prototype video:

    how would it actually interact with the network? I’m no expert but you’d have to program it some how? even if it was gsm and what kind of app would you use to dial and how does the psp interact with the hardware? shouldn’t there be some sort of control interaction? if not why not just make a really small cell phonenad keep the psp out of it? I just don’t get it. you’d have to elabourate. but if i’m missing something. I’m real sorry agian I’m no expert.
    Keep it real

    On the video there is no connection with USB, so what is this “phone” thing? How does it interact with PSP?

    Wow what a shit video. I saw sure alot .. a psp connected to a whole lot of crap - that really proves the concept ….

    Fucking stupid idea why would i want to use my PSP as a phone when I own a mobile?

    Next we need a mod that will turn to PSP into a personal microwave oven/slushie maker. Mmmm, microwaved burritos and slushies.

    just wondering, so i can see how it would work with gsm but since cdma like verizon uses esn # for it to work, would you program the esn to the psPhone? if so wouldnt that be like a huge security risk for companys like verizon? being able to access the network with anyones esn? just a thought still a really cool idea, imagine calling your friends psp to tell em to get on so you can race em on a game or something. amazing!

    Even if it works, then it seems pretty damn useless to me, i already got a phone to make calls, and i prefer carrying my phone with my all the time, then my psp.

    2006-08-17 15:24:47

    Ok first of all I’d like to just say that his crappy camera isnt the point, so let it go people.

    Overall its a pretty sweet concept though. Redundent?? sure. Does it matter?? nope, its all about seeing what that little beasts hardware is capable of.

    So if this is for real, good job Lior. Looking forward to a follow up on the project.

    Why is it that the people that make these hacks film everything in “bigfoot vision”. Come one.. if you are serious, get something better than a cellphone to make your movie showing off your world shattering invention. I vote that this is a fake.

    this is hands down the best shizle possible. if it can be shrunk to fit inside (no dangly boards) i’d pay $150 on the spot.

    also, how about an IM client with sound and mic support. that would rock harder than george bushes mom

    i think this is pretty cool. looks like my dog coulda recorded the video better. even if you people don’t like this idea, it’ll probably become the basis for something you’ll love, like internet anywhere. i think it’d be fun to take it out during class and just mess with everyone. my school takes cell phones away but i can play my psp through class and no one could care less.

    kool applacation. now you can make prank phone calls without anyone catching you due the fact that it seems like your just playing video games. Now they should come out with another homebrew like changing traffic lights.
