Lior Wants Your PSP to be your new Phone

We got a lovely surprise over at our QJ Forums. What you see there is above is the video demo of liornetwork’s “phonechip for the PSP.” The initial setup that appears to be under ongoing construction can’t make phone calls yet. But it can receive calls and show you the strength of the signal. And Lior promises improvements: “I’m still working on how to resize it and get it to a mass production.”

What does the future have in store? Here’s what Lior has planned:

• X1 antenna
• X1 board
• headsets with microphone
• X2 wires
• X1 32 MB memory stick
• the antenna to connect to the local network

On the board will be a switch to switch between CDMA network (without SIM card) and the GSM network (with the SIM card). The wires are used to connect the board and the antenna to the PSP. The 32MB memory stick will contain the program itself (to call), backup of the program (just to be safe), and a list of contacts. Please note like with many insanely amazing developments sometimes better to be on the safe side and treat this post as a rumor until more proof is released. We do not want anyone pointing fingers or calling names, *cough* Zombi146 *cough*.

And it looks like Lior has big dreams for this setup. Lior’s still considering how to finance the proposed project, however if he is able to pull this off, he estimates selling the final product for around $60.
