I was at the Sprint launch party Wednesday night for the Sprint overdrive.  It allows you to connect up to 5 devices at a time over Wi-Fi and connects you up to a 3G or 4G network.  The 4G network is already available in 28 centres across the US, with no usage caps, so for as long as that lasts it’ll be exciting.  So now we have a solution to the problem of how you play Internet-based PSP games at school, at home, and while camping (maybe with a solar powered charging system?).

 The interface is clean and simple with 3 hours of active communication time or 36 hours of standby.  It autoswitches back and forth as needed.  Recharging is via a MicroUSB connector, so 3rd party charging al always an option.  The display is clear and backlist, so at the press of a button you can check the status of the device: network, signal strength, battery life, SSID for the access point, and if you like even the network password.

 It is available now, and is $99 at Best Buy or $149 with a $50 mail in rebate at Sprint stores.
