A man who could only be described as some sort of maniac has undertaken a quest to improve his PSP with all the features that he believes Sony should have implemented from the start, including, for reasons unknown to all, a touchscreen.
Jube808 has been tinkering with the PSP for a while, improving its batterly life and controls, with the touch screen being his latest addition. Provided is a video showing off a keyboard that could be operated with a stylus or finger. The creator's eventual hope is that the touchscreen support will be robust enough to provide a new level of control for homebrew games.
Do want? Do care? Either way, one has to appreciate the skill, if not the relevance.

What? Kirby Canvas Curse and Elite Beat Agents require only the touch screen.
I like playing Advance Wars and Days of Ruin with stylus better as well.
Short battery life is short.
But I digress- I still don't think this would work well with the PSP, just due to its horizontal form factor.
...wait...
Man, I can't wait to see what "Innovations" Sony has for us next!
I never said it was a bad system, I always found it funny how justifications for a system is based on "homebrew" and not actual available software. If the system was good then it wouldn't need defending. I'd get a PSP if there was a game on there I really wanted. Castlevania almost did it, now if they release that Phantasy Star game here in the US I"m all in.
