PSPCasting 139
ChipGuy writes "Om Malik points out the launch of Sony PSP in US could actually turn Sony's fortunes around and thinks that new unqiue applications like Sajeeth Cherian's latest software, PSP Video 9, might be the real reason. Cherian created Videora bit torrent client's new hack, PSP Video 9. It takes any video and turns it into a format that PSP can read. So now you can download videos using Videora, and then convert them to PSP friendly format within a few seconds.He calls this PSP casting."

Next: 'Blogcasting' (reading your fave blog on your cellphone), 'bookcasting' (Ebooks on your PSP), and so on.

Besides Ebooks on a PSP would be EPSPBookCasting or something. Patent that quick.
Who wants to bet the next four stories will also feature this process? Here's my prediction:
Gridlogging
Nano-toasting
WiFiSatMaxG Mobile
FlashReceipeCasting
I propose a name for this phenomenon:

Unfortunately, this mentality means that absolutely everyone throws around bullshit ideas. Also unfortunate is that any event within the Internet is desperately reported on by the mainstream media without it. So terms such as 'Podcasting' - which comes down to putting an MP3 on your iPod, as though that was some novel use for it - get seized upon and thought of as useful to society.
Fuck it, I've got a new idea. I call it 'ShitZineing'. I came up with it when I used the Times Style section to wipe the excrement from my behind after I ran out of toilet paper. Obviously this idea can't take off without the iPod somehow being involved, so I figure I can Podcast a weekly show on the best pages to use from each week's Sunday magazines when you're out of TP and have a dire cling-on problem.
There we are, throw that one out through the Blogosphere and come back to me with a big fat cheque when someone wants to make it commercially viable.
