hi,

i'm playing with the thought to get a psp. i have some questions though,

1. i don't want to use it primarily for playing games, but to experiment with it. are hardware mods necessary to execute own code?
2. do there exist any umd recorders, or is it all memorystick-based?
3. does there exist a small keyboard as extension, in case i want to surf with the psp?
4. is it a good idea to get a psp at all? i mean, it's a rather dated piece of hardware. will there be a psp2 or comparable in the near (1, 2 years) future?

and no, i don't want to port dx-games to the psp, nor 3dgs games, no need to tell me that it's not possible.

what about Pandora, psp3000, and the gp2x?
