Spotted @ Comic-Con: the PSP GPS peripheral

It's really real. Trust us.After making a debut at CES earlier this year, the GPS accessory disappeared off the face of the earth, with only vague promises that the device will be coming within the next nine months. We don't know what the hold up is, but IGN spotted a working unit at San Diego Comic-Con. Of note, they saw that the device can give different directions based on whether you're in a car, bike or simply on foot. Can Sony please just release this thing already?

i dont see the difference between pushing a button on the screen versus off the screen.

I doubt menu navigation requires two thumbs.

There's a tiny bit of video showing someone actually handling a PSP with the GPS unit at the Playstation Blog here:

Fast forward to the 00:30 sec mark. Weird that the guy doesn't talk about it.
