Strange title I know, but there's a reason to it really, because you'll soon be able to take photos and/or videos of birds (be they the feathered kind or none feathered kind) and anything else you can think of, on the go, thanks to the PSP.

A few days ago we broke news about the impending release of the PS3's Playstation Eye Camera.

Well, we now have definite details on the portable camera attachment for the Playstation Portable.

Named Go!Cam, the camera sits nicely on top of the PSP, connecting through the mini-USB port on the top of the handheld console.

Heres a little bit from the Official Sony Press Release:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
With up to two and half hours video recording time and the ability to take and store over 40,000 photos (based on a 4GB Memory Stick Pro DUO), Go!Cam seamlessly converts PSP to a portable, functional and fun camera.

Go!Cam offers a built in microphone to ensure continuous audio, the ability to change the direction of the camera lens vertically by 180 degrees and Go!Edit, an editing software package which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips.

"Go!Cam is fantastic news for all those PSP owners looking for something new, fun and creative," said Stephane Hareau, PSP Marketing Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "With Summer around the corner and the ability to turn your PSP into a mini camcorder and capture all the best moments in your life, this is yet another reason to get a PSP and to take advantage of truly portable entertainment. It demonstrates yet again the potential, versatility and evolving nature of PSP."

The Go!Cam will, like the PS3 camera, be packaged along with some photos editing software called Go!Edit.
Here's the Press Release about this software:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go!Edit editing software, bundled free with Go!Cam allows you to transform your PSP into a portable editing suite, letting you edit on the move. With the ability to enhance movies and photos with sounds and graphical effects, Go!Edit provides everything to make a mini masterpiece. Go!Edit also allows the option to upload creations onto the internet directly from the PSP, meaning that nothing need stand in your way to share your masterpiece with the world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Go!Cam will be released in European (and all PAL) Territories on 16th May 2007 at a price of 34.99GBP (EUR49.99).
