The PSP with its outstanding screen was made with video in mind. First came video on UMD, yet another proprietary format from Sony that never really caught on. Then you had the ability to download your own video clips, originally at a crippled resolution - but with more recent firmware releases at full device resolution. For those in the know it's a fairly simple process to copy your own DVDs onto a memory stick to watch on the move.

Sky have now teamed with Sony to provide the PSP with it's first official video download service - called Go!View. It's to be launched this summer. Details are a little scant right now - but it looks interesting. From the press release it appears you'll have to download video to your PSP via your PC - which would be a pity given the PSP is perfectly capable of connecting directly to the Internet.

Go!View joins a range of Go! branded services and products to go along with your PSP. Details of some of these are available on the following site :

Not much there on Go!View right now - but you can register your email address so you're the first to get details.

We're hoping to take a closer look at what seems to be a very interesting product and we'll of course bring you a full review.

We were intrigued to see this small self-contained USB memory stick - as you can see the size of a paperclip. We've reviewed other small memory cards, but these often require inserting into an adaptor. Not quite as small as an atom - this tiny memory card is available in 1, 2, 4 and 8G byte variants.

The little hoop allows you to thread it onto a lanyard or otherwise secure what would undoubtedly be a very easy to misplace peice of technology.

Do memory sticks need to be this small? What do you think?

According to a survey by the Geek Squad - 1-in-5 people surveyed have made use of someone elses insecure wireless Internet connection. From these figures they suggest that WiFi 'Piggybacking' is the "most common crime in the UK".

Unfortunately there seem to be some flaws in their survey, and they don't make it clear how many people took part in the survey, or where they found them which of course would make a big difference.

Have you ever made use of an insecure WiFi Internet connection? You neighbours for example? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.

Ignoring how they got the results - my problems with the survey are on several levels :

• I'm not convinced that 1-in-5 people in the country yet know how to piggyback a WiFi connection
• A statement that 31 million Britons went online extrapolated to mean (1-in-5) 6.3 million pggybacked a WiFi connection
• Comparison of this 6m against reported crime stats to make this the most common crime is invalid - almost every car driver in the country speeds at one point even inadvertently - they aren't all caught and reported either.
• My experience of getting a WiFi signal through even one half decent wall suggests that very many WiFi signals are almost useless outside the owners home without specialist antenna.

So - what do you think?

Have you secured your WiFi connection?

Have you 'Piggybacked' someone elses connection?

Do you know how to secure your wireless connection?

Do you care if your neighbour - or that dodgy bloke down the road is using your connection?

Have you considered that not only can they use your connection - they can get into your computer to steal your personal information?

Technology "improves" with time. This improvement is often epitomised by "Moores Law". You don't have to understand Moores law in any way other than to mean that every few years your gadgets have the capacity to do twice what they could only a few years earlier. It's miniturisation that's driving this. Only a decade ago a basic mobile phone was the size of a brick - and all it did was make calls. If you wanted a camera, a "pocket" computer, these all came as their very own brick.

Miniturisation. It's great. A phone no longer needs it's own brick - it can share a much smaller brick along with a camera and a mobile phone. This is the most obvious example - but most gadgets have gone down this route. Even the humble toaster - although limited by the size of a slice of break - wants to do more. I saw one recently that can also poach an egg for you.

Is this good?

Well - the Geek Squad have just released some comments and views from their clients. This isn't particularly rigorous research but is interesting for all of that. With gadgets doing so much more it's not uncommon for the manual to be the length of a short novel - covering 50 pages. You gadget might does what you want it to do - you just have to find out how.

Increasing technical capacity has almost lead to an arms race in some areas. More functions coupled with shorter time to market and (because of lower lifespan for a product) lower overall profits often lead to :

• Less testing with real users leading to complex user interfaces
• Less testing full stop leading to products not doing what users expect them to do
• Post-purchase software upgrade mechanisms tempting vendors to ship products before they are ready to meet a deadline and relying on shipping the finished software later.
• Low sale value (because anyone can churn out a half baked product) coupled with short life-spans mean when customers do complain the after sales support is often close to non-existent.

The result is often a poor quality product that attempts to do too much and in that attempts does none well. A "jack of all trades - master of none".

Unfortunately that same technical capacity has given rise to the Internet - and an opportunity for a dissatisfied customer to vent their frustration to a wide audience. Just look at some of the comments posted recently on GadgetSpeak. The Funai HDR-B2735 being a great case in point - over 30 comments and hardly a positive note amongst them.

So what's your worst gadget? Why? Because it didn't do what you wanted? Because it broke not long after you bought it? Do let us know!

A little late, but we now have our prizedraw information up for February. This time we have a Nescafé Dolce Gusto to be won by one lucky member. Our review of this looking coffee machine was the most read article on GadgetSpeak in January - with almost 20% more reads than the second most popular article!
