GamesIndustry has an interesting piece about the Sony PSP's battery life, and the pain it may inflict on developers. It looks like the specs for the device are being circulated to prepare game makers for the inevitable rush to create content. But instead of having specifics, the guidelines provide some mushy numbers like "around 10 hours for music and two hours for movie playback." This should make the certification process a lot of fun for smaller developers as they submit their years of work to Sony for approval with only a general idea of what Sony is looking for. Such is life in the game development business.
