LocationFree coming to Mac
Sony has announced a licensing agreement with Kaga Electronics which will bring "LocationFree" with mobile products to Mac users. Kaga Electronics will be developing the software for Mac OS X, and will connect users with Sony's "LocationFree Base Station." "LocationFree" can transmit content to PCs, the PlayStation Portable (PSP), or a dedicated LCD monitor after connecting the "LocationFree Base Station" to a TV antenna and/or DVD recorder. The plan proposes a new way to enjoy TV, such as watching programs or video content via a wireless connection via the internet. "As telecommunications infrastructure advances, Sony will increase licensing of LocationFree software in order to expand the number of compatible products. This will create a life style where TV and video content can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere."
So theoretically...

It is possible to create a LocationFree app that will facilitate my iTunes collection to my PSP, no matter where I am on the internet? With Apple's permission, of course? That would be incredible and the right thing to do, but I won't hold my breath yet.

Hey dimplemonkey-- Have you tried cover buddy?
Your entire iTunes library on your PSP. No matter how big. All you need is a internet connection.

Sony... desperation?

It's odd that companies like Sony only start enacting the proper decisions (i.e. Mac compatibility) when they are at the end of their rope - clearly, their new CEO appears to be a bit more cued in (or, at lest I'm assuming this is partially due to him), but honestly, this is woefully too little to late, as Sony has fallen by ways of even being remotely relevant -- heck, not even their own employees buy their porducts anymore.
