Coveted by gamers and media addicts alike, Sony’s PSP has a few things the oh-so-ubiquitous iPod doesn’t, like a large screen, wi-fi, and the ability to swap out memory sticks loaded with content. Yet there is far less out there for the mostly-gaming device, despite it’s enormous popularity.

Luckily (for those folks residing in the UK at least), the leading-edge arts spacethe Institute for Contemporary Arts has created the PSP version of a video podcast called ICA The Show, a video magazine of sorts which brings the kinds of art, design, music and related content the ICA has championed since it’s creation to a handheld screen near you. Clearly not just for kids, the PSP is finally getting some content age appropriate for the gizmo’s adult following.

Already two episodes in, The Show has featured onedotzero, Battles, the film Favela Rising, Test-Icicles and many more.

Let’s hope this project takes off and more thoughtful, exciting and visually arresting content becomes available for the PSP and other handheld media machines.
