PSPWare 2.5.2 (Mac OS X)

Agree is appears dead  

Very little has happened on the product in a while. The conversion process is still woefully slow, much slower than ffmpegx for example. There are never any release notes to tell you what's changed, so apart from the version going up, I can't see what's improved in the last 2 months. I bought the product in the hope that this would lead to improved development, but it does seem that things have whilst not gone down hill, at least haven't improved hugely. [alert admin]

PSPWare 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)

Old dog hasn't learned new tricks.  

As a registered user, when it started I was pleasantly surprised by how frequent and how often the product was updated and new features added. However it's now close to abandonware, as very little has be done to it for ages. It falls down for several reasons. You need to attach your psp for it to convert movies. Need to convert 3 weeks of movies? Say good bye to your psp for three weeks. It won't transfer them for three weeks, but bizarrely won't convert them without it being attached. It also doesn't deal well with multiple memory cards, or trying to fit movies to more than one card. The conversion takes a long time, far longer than programs like popcorn2 take for the same movie. Popcorn 2 also manages to convert better quality images for smaller file sizes as well. Save your money, buy something else and show the developer that he needs to finish a product before moving on to other projects. All in all a flawed gem, never finshed, which is a shame as it showed much promise to start with. [alert admin]

PSPWare 2.1.3 (Mac OS X)

Basics ok, advanced functions not there yet.  

For the basics, putting photos, music and movies on to your psp it works fine. However the more advanced functionality is not there yet. You can't queue up 20 movies to sync to your psp once they are converted. You can't manage multiple cards, despite the claims that you can. and finally, despite there being versions available for both windows and mac, there is nothing on the web site to make it clear you have to buy both versions, and your registration only works for one version. Which is why I marked it down on price. Once the mvie sync queue and handling multiple cards is sorted, plus the ability to backup book marks from each card is added, it truly will be a 5 star app. [alert admin]

Apple iSync 1.5 (Mac OS X)

Not 1 phone  

You can't seem to find a single phone that Isync doesn't have problems with, not one. The P900, sometimes it works, most people it doesn't. Same for Nokia 6600 Same for Motorrola V600. Same for K700i... [alert admin]

Plus it really annoyingly will RECONVERT movies that ffmpegx has already converted, and if manually placed on the psp will convert fine. This has been the case for over 2 years now..still not fixed.

PSPWare RAWKS!!!  

Except it's not intuitive, and doesn't just work. So out of the 3 things that make mac products so "mac products" as that's 1/ Look Great. 2/ Be intuitive. 3/ Just work. It manages Look great, and that's by re-using lots of apple icons...poor show on the be intuitive and just work though.
