PSP Global Connectivity Within 6 Months

The BBC's story focusing on the current state of the handheld wars (with the PSP at about 25 million shipped versus 35 million for the DS at the end of '06, they say) also features a choice quote from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesfella Jonathan Fargher on the PSP's future. He drops word on the forthcoming global implementation of location free player capabilities of the Wi-fi ready, handheld gaming machine.

We're hoping to incorporate that functionality in the very near future - from a local level at the moment to a global level probably within the next six months. If I have my MP3 Walkman or my iPod, or digital camera connected to PS3 then I can access those devices, too.

Okay, cool. Since I'll probably have my iPod with me when I travel, what about a USB hard drive? Can I access my hundreds of gigs of porn when I'm in Tokyo this September?
