will the psp access external or portable hardrives, for example can i plug my ipod into it that has files stored on it that are not in the ipod format?

The PSP is a USB slave device which means it can only be seen by devices you plug it into - it can't see devices you plug into it. There is some development at the moment that might change this though.

On a side note there is a rumour of a PSP on the horizon that will include a 50gb internal hard drive. However, with the recent ISO loader that allows virtually every commercial game to run off a memory stick (storage space permitting), Sony might nip this drive idea in the bud as there will almost certainly be a hack at some point which will allow you to use this drive as a storage for your game 'backups' to run. It goes without saying Sony and game developers wouldn't want this to happen.
