Sony Psp Gets a Touchscreen (Sorta)

August 27th, 2007 by: Technabob


psp touchscreenWhile Sony has made it pretty clear that a touchscreen interface won’t be part of the PSP any time soon, that hasn’t stopped modders from trying to make it so. Thanks to the folks over at Spark Fun Electronics, that task just got a whole lot easier.

This add-on layer by Hantouch sticks to the front of the PSP’s LCD screen giving it the hardware needed to sense touch. Since it’s so new, I haven’t yet found anyone who’s actually installed one, or created software to do anything with it, but the whole PSP modding community is so active, it’s only a matter of days before we see one of these in action. If you’re up to the task, you can pick one up from Spark Fun for just $23.95.

    i believe the PSP will do without this hack. it is so far ahead of the DS even though it doesn’t have a touch screen. and many will agree that each game console are great in their own right

    If you check Mouser.Com you will see there only $13.93 each with no minimum quantity to buy..

    For now it’s pointless to buy this, unless a DS emu for PSP is very compatible

    Your website has some great content related to my site. I think we could both benefit from a link exchange. Are you interest in doing a link exchange?

    Wow this web site is so outdated it isnt even funny. Sony is actually coming out with a psp that has a touch screen and a touch sensitive pad in the back of it. Running with a faster processor than a x box 360 on a portable device. Update this technabob
