The big problem in this stand is the angle. You can't change it to position your PSP more vertically. It's much too inclined! You have to watch it from higher, not right in front of it.
The sound plug could be in the rear of the device, not on the left. You can't put your PSP easilly on the docking station with the strap. Also, you can't just "put your PSP on it", it's not so easy to plug it in/out. Requires both hands! Not exactly the same black plastic as the PSP (black/grey, looks a bit cheap then). The rest is ok. When will Sony decide to release a perfect official one?
The cradle by Japanese manufacturer Miyavix may very well be the missing PSP cradle that Sony should have included with the PSP. The smooth black styling matches the PSP's exterior and the functionality is simple and effective. It's about time.
In the package you get the cradle and a little pass-through audio jack. This audio jack can be flipped up or down depending on whether you want to use it or not. When in the 'up' position, you can slide the PSP down onto the cradle and plug in any regular headphone-jack output cable. This is great for plugging in speakers and using the cradle and PSP as a micro-theatre display.
Also, on the back of the cradle is an AC adapter port. If you look at your PSP power port, you'll see a round hole and then two thin slots with gold contacts directly below. The latter two contacts are where the cradle has matching prongs that will power your PSP. No more fiddling with cables, just leave the cradle sitting on your desktop and dock the PSP in/out at your convenience.
The polish of the cradle matches the PSP very well and the plastic itself is quite thin and light. There is no danger of the whole setup toppling. The only thing you'll have to worry about is where to put the cradle.
It isn't just the simple design that makes this such a great compliment. When docked, you truly use the PSP to its full potential, whether watching movies or using the PSP as an audio player. We hope that Sony is paying attention because the Miyavix PSP Cradle should have been included with the PSP.
