Browse the web on a PSP

[Steve]

I would imagine that anybody who wants a PSP (when we finally get them here in Europe) will be wanting to play games on it. However, that's just not enough for some people, who have discovered how to use the web browser that is part of Wipeout to browse the net on their PSP.

Browsing is simple enough, up and down to move from link to link. D-Pad only though. Also there is no cursor anywhere, and no title-bars. If there is no link in the nearest vicinity, the PSP just scrolls the page (awesome). Entering links is X, refresh page is []. Again entering text into boxes pops up the API.

Functionality is somewhat limited, but I'm sure some HEXUS readers will be trying this once they get their hands on a PSP.

Read how to do it and see pictures of the browser in action here.

Thanks to slashdot for the initial linkage.

Interesting, but i am not sure how usefull it will be without any kind of text input. I am trying to make my mind up if I should get one, proper web access with some kind of on screen keyboard or predictive text system might swing it for me. Don't Sony have one i the pipeline as a firmware update or something?

How does it actualy connect to the net, Wifi? would it work with hotspots?

" Dialog box input works (eg google search) (fires up PSP's Keyboard API)"
