Witj the psp online with the new update, how is it? Better than the wipeout pure way? And can u get on aim? Does it cost money to get on the internet from the update?

The update is worth it, much better than Wipeout (bookmarks!). Cost = none, unless you go on a network that costs. Use Emessenger to get on AIM.

I've wondered about this, I want to know how to set up the connection, can someone show me how?, I don't have wi-fi in my house, hope that helps

you'll probably have to get a cheap wifi router. AFAIK, there is no way to connect ethernet to a PSP. Check the ads in your sunday paper, and you should be able to find one cheap enough. Mine was $5 at CompUSA

(though that's a bit lucky)

I think I'll get a psp instead of an ipod. Also what types of sites arent compatible with the psp?

I'm guessing flash sites or anything you need to download

Probably microsoft.com too, because of all the ActiveX stuff and whatnot.

As long as frames work, then my site will work. I just don't have it PSP-optimized yet (if I ever will, which I might make a quick directory page type of thing...)

Isn't Nokia supposed to come out with a handheld WiFi web browser that runs Linux? I read about it in Popular Science but I forget the name. All I know is that I WANT IT BAD!!!!!!!

WAAAAHHH! [/tantrum]

I mean it's got something like a 4" screen, WiFi support, Flash support, an onscreen (or Ithink BlueTooth?) keyboard...

It would make War Driving/biking a lot easier!

EDIT: found it. It's the Nokia 770. It doesn't make the web page view a tiny keyhole, but it scales the entire width down to the screen's size. And, following Linux tradition, its software is open-source. It's only a matter of time before someone ports Network Stumbler onto it...

Its supposed to have bad responce time, says the people whom have used it. Some say these issues will be worked out. Im definitely not pre-ordering. It is cool how it can support flash. And some say it will take a lotta time to download a file. Like using a 3G on a moblie phone(What they said)

The browser is pretty cool, but makes me wish I had a keyboard to type with, it's a pain to enter text.

If you have broadband and don't have a wireless router yet, do yourself a favor and get one. I'm posting from my couch kicked back right now.

That got me thinking... Trillian or GAIM for PSP...

Basically all Portables, as in palm pilots, portable web browsers and that stuff, kinda sucks. First of all, what happens when theres a new OS or update, I like to keep up on the new OS's. Also theres a better potential of this getting broken or stolen than a laptop, or whatever. Its also such a pain to type without a keyboard. Ya know! I think its an amazing device, but my $350, and other costs says different. I was gonna get a psp with this, but I said no, I could spend that money on something that doesnt waste away my life, and time accomplishing something, useful(not saying all tasks are useless on that device). But dude, Its too expensive for some totally cool, awesome, and amazing timewaster.
