How Can I Put Pictures on My PSP?

Sony's popular PSP gaming device is the company's first foray into the handheld gaming market. Like the PlayStation 3, the PSP functions as a media hub that stores and plays video games, music files and movies. Additionally, the PSP can also display picture files. Users can import files from a variety of sources and store them on their PSPs for easy transport. This gives users easy access to their library of pictures and photos while on the go.
