American PSP owners will be able to enjoy GPS navigation some time next year. Not only will the platform support navigation and maps, as expected, but John Koller wants to offer something a bit more. SCEA is investigating game development which can take advantage of GPS technology. Koller told MTV Multiplayer the upcoming peripheral “changes the dynamics of GPS but also changes the way developers think about games on PSP because you can start integrating GPS into it.” According to Koller, Sony will introduce the GPS solution to third party publishers and is currently brainstorming ideas within its first-party studios. “There’s been a number of things that our first-party worldwide studios have looked at, and they’ve been trying to look at different options,” he said.

 iHome ships ZN9 clock radio dock for Zunes

The stereo system is the first clock radio dock for Microsoft’s player and can play live audio from a Zune 4, 8, or 80 as well as use the portable device as the source of music for the alarm; the device’s AM/FM radio or a simple buzzer is also an option. Like iHome’s iPod equivalents, the ZN9 also permits setting an alarm that varies for weekdays and weekends, and users can also set gradual wake or sleep timers to fade the volume. The stereo system promises better-than-average sound quality through its speaker chamber design but doesn’t have an aux-in jack for outside devices.

iHome ships the ZN9 only in black and maintains a $100 price for the audio system, which is available both online and at retail shops.
