Sony PSP helps with newspaper home delivery

Okay it’s not the best photo in the world but it’s all I have. This is one of the new Sony PSP game devices being used to display home delivery details for my newsagency. A bit of Velcro on the back of the PSP allows it to attach to the dash. Scrolling is easy. Screen clarity is fantastic. While we can display run retails on many portable devices, why not the PSP – it makes it a deductible business machine.

I have some friends in Adelaide who print 25 pages a day listing home delivery requirements. With one of these Sony PSP devices they could eliminate that and save printing 9,125 pages a year. Add to that printer wear and tear, toner and time taken and you soon get significant savings from this little device.

This is another way smart newsagents are improving the accuracy of home delivery of newspapers.

It lists the totals for the delivery run so the driver can get the right quantity. Another form eliminated.

And for the delivery drivers who prefer only the changes, the PSP lists what we call the stops and starts:
