			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PSP is not just a portable game console, it&#8217;s a music player and also movie player. I use it mostly when I&#8217;m driving (of course with a cassette adapter), show some pics to my friends, or watch tv series on the go. With quite a scarce library of PSP-centric application for the Mac, I&#8217;ve discovered 2 that would make it easier to put multimedia files in your PSP. First let&#8217;s go with music</p>
<p><span id="more-309"></span></p>
<p><strong>PSPWare</strong></p>
<p><a href='http://rajasa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/picture-1.png'><img src="http://rajasa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/picture-1.png" alt="" title="PSPWare" width="427" height="114" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-310" /></a></p>
<p>PSPWare provides the all you need for your multimedia experience on PSP. It sync from your iTunes playlist, integrate your safari&#8217;s bookmark, sync from chosen iPhoto album and also convert movie files and transfer it directly to your PSP. What more can you ask?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nullriver.com/products/pspware">Get it for $15</a></p>
<p><strong>VisualHub</strong></p>
<p><a href='http://rajasa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/picture-2.png'><img src="http://rajasa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/picture-2-300x76.png" alt="" title="Visual Hub" width="300" height="76" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-311" /></a></p>
<p>This is not a PSP specific application, but it&#8217;s a good deal if you also have an iPod with you. It converts videos from many format to PSP, iPod, AVI, MPEG, etc and it supports batch processing too. I use it a lot to convert the videos I want for my PSP, loving it because it converts very fast!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/">Get it for $23.32</a></p>
<p>Any more to add?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was asked a favor from my sister to sync her SE z710 mobile phone with her macbook. I&#8217;m a proud user of a Mac and iSync and would gladly teach her to sync, unfortunately.. Her phone are not supported.</p>
<p>And so it kills me to see why Apple wouldn&#8217;t support a fairly old model like z710 (like what? a year ago). So off I go and learn to make my own plugin. I&#8217;ve seen the iSync&#8217;s default phone plugin, how hard can that be?</p>
<p><span id="more-224"></span></p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s not that easy either.. I&#8217;ve google for about 2 hours and found <a href="http://the.taoofmac.com/space/HOWTO/Write%20iSync%20Phone%20Plugins">this</a> and <a href="http://en.isync-hilfe.de/index.html">this</a> which is my start of writing z710 plugin. Ok, let me wrap it up from those manuals and articles that I read. Here goes!</p>
<p>First, make a new folder called <strong>PhonePlugins</strong> on /Users/your_username/Library/ (note: your_username is, well.. your username. Anyway you can also place PhonePlugins in /Library/ but just to be save, let&#8217;s put it in the Users Library folder).</p>
<p>Second, copy the closest model you can get from default iSync phone plugin on /Applications/iSync/Contents/Plugins/ ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/Plugins/</p>
<p>For example, I need to make z710, the closest I can get is z530, so I copy that to /Library/your_username/PhonePlugin/ and rename it accordingly. I rename SonyEricsson-Z530.phoneplugin to SonyEricsson-Z710.phoneplugin.</p>
<p>Third, edit the MetaClasses.plist in that folder plugin (find it in Contents/Resources/) and change the name of the phone to your phone. Example, I change all the occurrences of Z530 to Z710.</p>
<p>Save it and you&#8217;re done! (Well, you should be <img src='http://rajasa.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>Now all you have to do is pair your device and add it to iSync. Don&#8217;t know how? It&#8217;s easy, all you got to do is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Turn on your bluetooth</li>
<li>Tell it to browse/send file(s) to device</li>
<li>Your phone will want to confirm that your computer wishes to connect</li>
<li>Click OK on the phone and enter the pairing phrase (just use 1 or any number, as long as you enter the same number on the phone and computer)</li>
<li>And you&#8217;re done pairing!</li>
<li><strong>Next!</strong> Fire up your iSync, and choose Devices > Add Devices. If your homemade plugin worked, then your computer should be able detect the phone and add it</li>
</ul>
<p>Ok, these process are not without flaw. First of all I haven&#8217;t change the device icon (still z530) and I wish to do so but it gives me error when I use my owh .tiff file that I save using Photoshop, so i&#8217;m still researching there.</p>
<p>Because of that no icon condition, I don&#8217;t want to distribute my code. Well.. since I only find and replace so I guess I&#8217;m not that proud either. So just make your own plugin or if you&#8217;re that lazy, buy it from <a href="http://mobile.feisar.com">this guy</a>.</p>
<p>Hope it helps! </p>
