Lik-Sang is running a review of Datels new 4GB hard drive for the Sony PSP.

Available for $199.00 (USD) the 4GB Hard Drive for PSP consists of four parts: the Hard Drive, a X2 Battery Pack, Max Media Manager Software for Windows, and a High-Speed USB 2.0 cable to connect your PSP to your Computer.

The 4GB Hard Drive is connected with the PSP by means of what Datel calls a flexible Memory Stick™ adapter that is plugged into the Memory Stick™ slot on the PSP. Once connected, the body of the HD attaches to the back of the PSP using two location posts which slot into corresponding holes on the back of the PSP. When used in conjunction with the X2 double capacity battery the 4GB HD forms an ergonomic extension to the PSP which follows the neat lines of the handheld.

    4GB for video and music would be sweet, but man the thing sure does uglify the PSP.

    Lik-Sang provides a battery upgrade that allows the PSP to run longer with the hard drive than it would with the normal battery and memory sticks.

    I'm a fan of the GP2X, and I'm considering buying one (the only handheld that's even tempted me), but it does suck that large SD cards are expensive, so it's impractical to take much music around with you. You can buy a 4gb Microdrive for the price of a 2gb SD card.
