I remember unwrapping my first PSP and thinking, “This is revolutionary.” Before smartphones really took off, Sony gave us a handheld that could stream movies, play AAA-quality games, and even connect to the internet. It introduced me to the idea that a single device could satisfy multiple entertainment cravings on the go - movies on the train, multiplayer matches in the cafeteria, and custom soundtracks for my commute. Its sleek design and multimedia features blurred the lines between gaming consoles and portable media players, setting the stage for today’s multitasking devices. What do you think was its most influential feature?
