One of our readers informed us of a new service from Sony called eyeVio, which will launch tomorrow in Japan. This informative diagram from the site shows a world where cameras, camcorders, phones and other devices can communicate with each other. Next to the defunct boomerang PS3 controller, one may see a PSP. Could YouTube-styled streaming video come to the PSP? Not quite.
Just like Sony's other video streaming service, Grouper, eyeVio will allow users to download PSP (and iPod) compatible video files. More interesting, however, seems to be the mobile version of eyeVio (m.eyevio.com), which will allow users to also upload files from their mobile devices.
The service will be limited to the Japanese market, so the majority of PSP Fanboy readers will not be able to use the site.
[Thanks, Joel!]

I will assume this will tie to HOME somehow? the ability to download videos from that as well.
interesting idea, if it survives long enough, it will catch on.

I think it's the Sony's websurfing mobile thingy, It's used for chatting and surfing the net. but it doesn't make phone calls... weird
*note, I'm not for sure it's that thing*

How can they POSSIBLY think that they can compete to something like Google (youtube has been bought by google)?! If they couldn't even compete on the video-on-demand market, which is still not dominated by anyone and they had a fair chance to win there.

the other device to the left of the mylo is the new mp3 player video walkman, competitor for IPOD. Japan only release so far I believe.

Why is it that I see the PS3's old "Concept in Design" controller in the artwork?
