This is just getting ridiculous. A hacker has managed to successfully port the PS3 hack to a calculator, specifically the TI-84. Brandon Wilson has tweeted that a video and source code will be released soon. This has also been re-tweeted by Muscle Nerd of the iPhone dev team so it appears to be very legitimate. And yes, the TI-84 calculator sports a FLASH ROM with Mini-USB port.

correct me if i am wrong, but isn't that MORE complicated then using a USB stick?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

neh.. you have to use a usb dongle... not a stick.. and the ones you can use for the hack are selling out.. so now you can use the calculator as the dongle..

An $80-$120 calculator isn't just a common calculator. Wait a few days or weeks and im certain it will come down much lower. And possibly with the PS3's own controller. That would be a real joke then.
