Use Your Playstation Portable As An Additional Windows Monitor
10:00AM Jason Fitzpatrick | Windows only: If you’re on the look out for a new trick to teach your PSP, using it as supplemental monitor for your Windows rig is pretty sweet trick indeed. Like many of the other awesome PSP based projects we have suggested here at Lifehacker, this requires a little bit of homebrew magic. The results are quite impressive however. Once you install PSPDisp and tether your PSP to your computer with a USB cable, you can use it as an independent display. Update: several readers have reported that they can tether over WiFi. Thanks guys! Check out the video: More »

If you’ve been looking for a way to get internet video (or even convert files from your desktop) on your mobile device, Movavi might be just the ticket. Movavi [via eHub] More »

New iPods and WiFi iTunes store
1:35PM Sarah Stokely | Finally some Apple news about products we can buy here in Australia! You will have read about the new iPods already today – if not, our mates at Gizmodo AU did a great job rounding up all the product announcements. (See here for their “5 things we love and 5 things we hate about the new iPods” post)
The thing we’re most excited about here at Lifehacker – apart from the pretty sexy iPod Touch ($419) itself – was the iTunes Wi-Fi music store for iPod Touch and iPhone. You can browse and buy songs for your iPod or iPhone directly, without using a PC. Nice. Now bring on the damn iPhone already. :) More »
