Apparently the Belkin folks are rolling out a little something for the podcasting community this CES season. The company’s Podcast Studio is a self-contained, iPod-interfacing podcast production device… and not much else. The unit features dual XLR and 1/4″ inputs, a built-in microphone up top, an embedded speaker, and the styling of some 1950’s-space-opera transmogrifier.

The only thing it’s missing is your smarmy, high-falutin’ opinions about avant noise-rock.

So it’s not a matter of whether the PSP will grab Skype, it’s a matter of when the firmware update will be released. Hit the jump for the note in question.

“The Wii is the latest popular gaming device that, with MP3tunes’ technology, actually becomes a home stereo system,” said Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3tunes. “Consumers shouldn’t be limited in where or how they enjoy their personal music collections, and we will continue to announce new ways MP3tunes is fulfilling its vision of giving people access to all of their music, anywhere they go.” Read more… »
