It was at Sony HQ that decided to pursue “military contracts” as a revenue source. The US Air Force expressed their interest in expanding its PS3 supercomputer. The Britannia’s Royal Navy, which is glorious, has conscripted 230 PlayStation Portable (PSP) into duty as revision aids for its trainee sailors.
The Sony PSPs is loaded with physics and maths materials. It can be used in a bunk, has familiar controls for the young and mostly for male recruits and are considered pretty tough to break. Actually, cost cutting is the reason for this move. The Royal Navy is saving on teaching time by making the training course more intensive.
It is given that the UMD drive won’t come disabled and which is to encourage the sailors to take care of the device better. The future this paints is of marines who have spent extra time with a freebie handheld console than with a pro instructor. They will have a good stable of captured monsters at least to show for it.
The Royal Navy has begun handing out Sony PSPs consoles to sea bound servicemen in the confined conditions of a warship, to help them study for exams. These pocket devices have been kitted-out with specially-designed programmes made-up of commentaries and slides to allow sailors to swat-up from the relative comfort of a bunk bed. With around 230 dished out at a cost of £50,000, Marine warfare engineering technicians were the first to get the consoles and a space-saving operation. So, commanding officers believe that the consoles will provide much more incentive to study.
This idea was developed at HMS Collingwood in Hampshire by the maritime warfare school and if successful, it will see more PSPs distributed among the fleet.
I wish this Sony PSPs would work very well.
