Wow you guys are kidding right?, there are so many applications for this that it makes me cry that i cant use it under Vista x64

1) Put Winamp's main window and playlist on it so you can always see the next song that is coming and the playback, while still having a full screen application running on your main monitor... (Eg. Play GRID on the PC and have your own music in the background, you can see what song follows)

2) While playing single player games on the PC, you can have a Notepad open on the PSP with a FAQ or strategy guide.

3) Weather widget, CPU/Mem Utilization, Email checker, etc * 100

4) Photoshop or other Tools that allow you to move panels, you can put the panels in the PSP's screen and have your entire screen for your Project's Preview

5) MSN, Skype, IRC, etc, etc

And so many others, i want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent suggestions! I can't wait to try it but I have Vista installed so I'll have to bring home my work laptop. Sort of a pain but I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Vista-compatible version in the near future.

at the moment it seems alot of trouble for something so little... maybe when they get the features they mentioned implemented, then maybe its more worth it

abit more involvement on the psp side of things would have been nice, like doing a larger portion of the rendering process rather than just displaying what the windows driver sent it

at the moment i can see 2 scenarios for it... your very energy conscious and you use your psp while your monitor is off... or someone makes a new version of the driver that makes the psp behave as a second desktop, rather than just repeating whats on the monitor

Wait, please explain better, i cant try it because of Vista, but i thought the made your PSP a secondary display?? at least it looks like that from the video...

Does it only "copy" whatever you have on the primary monitor???

I have to say, I'm finding it hard to find a practical use for this :p I suppose one would be to have the magnifier on the PSP screen maximised and then it can view everything zoomed in on the bigger screen (which would be great for stuff like photoshop or those with hard of hearing, having a zoomed in and zoomed out perspective without it taking up any more screen space.

wtf?

This looks pretty cool though. I'm gonna have to try this out later.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! No Vista/64-bit support. :'(

64 bit versions are not supported, as well as Windows Vista. I would like to provide a Vista version but it will probably never happen due to the changes in the display driver model regarding multi-monitor support.

oops i meant like, instead of displaying the output of the computer's video card like a monitor, the psp should be able to do so much more, like almost like another video card

guess i sounded kind of confusing.... guess i cant keep up with technology that well :)

Oh you mean the PSP actually doing calculations with its CPU/GPU to generate 3D content for the PC or itself, that would be sick, i could write another list of things that could be done with that :D

It would be great if they used the Vista Sideshow SDK to make it work as a Windows peripheral... :)

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
