I remember not that long ago when you were lucky if you got 10MB storage space with your web based email account. Of course Google’s GMail moved the goalposts and upped the storage ante to 2GB of storage space (and climbing). Yahoo currently offer 1gb and AOL offer 2GB free accounts.

A new upstart called 30gigs.com has taken things to another level again and are offering eye popping 30 gigabyte email accounts, free. The catch is its invite only (where have we heard that one before?) and its in ‘heavy beta’ right now,whatever that means. Information is sparse on the website to say the least and we’re not sure who on earth would need 30 gig storage for email anyway.

Sony have updated the Playstation Portable this week with firmware updates to add streaming support for Podcasting and WMA files.

Using the PSP system’s RSS Channel feature, you can add link information to your channel list that will enable your system to link to RSS-distributed audio content available on Web pages.

The device doesn’t download the Podcast but rather uses the RSS feeds to tell you what Podcasts are available and streams the audio content rather than downloading it for offline use later. Useful for on the move browsing I guess but if you want to download you’ll want something more than the expensive memory Stick option.

Online gadget retailer Lik Sang have a neat Datel 4GB Hard Drive which would free you from the limitations of the expensive Memory Stick. 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. The unit retails at $199.
