PSP Price | Thunderbird + PodCast | Other

1) Sony will soon drop the price on the PSP to $200 from $250. The first MILLION units were all Sony value packs priced @ $250 with a 32MB card, headset, headset control, soft case, arm strap and the Spider-Man 2 UMD. The $200 ones will only include the PSP, battery pack, (less than) 32mb card and the charger. This will make the unit more affordable and more popular.

2) Thunderbird will support Podcasting in the next major release. Mozilla is working on a plugin with either Windows Meida Player or Quicktime to allow playing the Podcast direclty from Thunderbird with out needing to open an external program.
