Just days after Sony's Qriocity video-on-demand service went live
across Europe, in flies this -- news that the aforesaid service will
be spreading its wings and touching the PSP in short order. Word on
the street has it that the next PlayStation Portable update (v6.35)
will bring along Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity, described as a
"new, cloud-based, digital music service from Sony that will give
music lovers access to millions of songs stored and synchronized
through the cloud." Post-update, users will notice a new icon in the
PSP's XrossMediaBar under the 'Music' category, and moreover, the
Media Go application for managing PSP downloadable content on your PC
will be updated "with enhancements to the user interface and advanced
photo editing tools." Sony's remaining mum on a launch date, but the
internet is already abuzz about what this may mean for the impending
PlayStation Phone. Will Sony finally have a leg-up over iOS with an
ingrained unlimited music client? A boy can dream, can't he?
