Oh.. and btw.. the google ads was just for fun on the main site too. Although, I'm a bit curious to know if we get money from it. Would be nice to have the site pay for its hosting costs, etc.

... is however more serious. It does look like this will be a way to share homebrew applications, even if you'll have to let Sony make a few bucks on it probably.

This looks interesting. It doesn't say something about the platform, so maybe it is available for PSP, too?

Seen in the light of the GDC announcement that PSP would support downloadable PS2 games and rumors about TV, Movie and Music for PSP to be distributed that way also, this should be a pretty safe bet. I for one am rooting for applications like PSP Radio and Lua Player to be downloadable from there. Who knows that with some luck they will allow shareware or at least trialware ... just a question of what it will cost, really. Maybe we can create a Homebrew Distribution Inc. :D
