Just got an email from boxwave saying they are now selling minisyncs for PSPs. Think I might have recommended they make them for PSP hence the email, so this is all thanks to me (or not - but i wanna feel special).

I've got one of their minsync cables for my iRiver H140 and it's always in my bag when I go college. Because my iRiver is also my portable HDD with work on, it's indispensable and really convenient to have.

Anyway, just a heads up, gets my thumbs up.

Now you can charge and synch on the go!

How's their screen protector?

 

[Stinkles]

Erm, how is it "for" PSP? Any mini USB cable works. I have like three from various cameras and shit.

I also just use the same cable that I use for my digital camera.

 

[Great King Bowser]

You are all aware it charges as well?

How's their screen protector?

Terrible, it doesn't cover the screen completely. It leaves a millimeter or two of unprotected screen on the top and bottom.

Would much rather have usb 2.0 than a usb cord that charges.

wait, is this not USB 2.0? if so, no sale...

the PSP cannot be charged through the USB port. Unless it has a seprate wire that goes to the DC in, there is no way this cable charges the PSP.

They don't even have a picture of the PSP version. All I see is the generic PDA sync cable. LAME.

Gah, it does. Same as for iRiver. Has a regular mini-usb lead and a separate wire for charging. So you can synch and charge at the same time.

It even says that the picture isn't illustrative of the actual product, no idea why they're being lazy.

Didn't realise it wasn't USB2.0, agreed, lame.

They did this when they first released minisynchs for iRiver DAPs and then later released a USB2.0 version which took the piss.
