ABC News, AtomFilms offer PSP video
Sony's portable gets custom-tailored news clips and short movies from two mainstream outlets.
In a one-two punch for PSP owners, ABC News and AtomFilms have both announced they will be offering free downloadable video content for Sony's new handheld. ABC News will soon offer video snippets on its Web site, which can be downloaded and viewed on demand, similar to podcasted content popular with bloggers and owners of MP3 players.
There is no word yet on exactly when ABC News will make its content available.
Bernie Gershon, ABC News digital media group senior VP and general manager, said in a statement, "Today, 99 percent of people with PSPs are using it to play the fantastic games, but our view is that wherever there is a screen, there is a potential viewer of ABC News."
Reportedly, the first ABC News program to be formatted for PSP owners will be the network's technology program Ahead of the Curve.
Meanwhile AtomFilms opened its new Mobile Movie Theater today and began offering three films for download: Football, In God We Trust, and Rockfish. The last of these is a computer-generated short film about a futuristic fisherman who chases giant underground worms with a massive all-terrain vehicle and a laser drill.
PSP owners looking to tantalize their eyeballs with these new types of entertainment will likely need to invest in some larger memory sticks: AtomFilms' offerings will push the PSP's included 32MB memory stick to its limit with the 31MB Rockfish.
