Blogging via Sony PSP

Borrowed this Sony PSP from a cousin for a couple of days. While my brother was enjoying the only 2 games loaded in it, I checked out its wifi capability.

I wondered how easy (or hard) it would be to surf or even blog with this gadget.

Surprisingly, surfing the web was a breeze. However, I had a hard time using it to blog. As a matter of fact, I wrote this entry using the PSP and this took me approximately 12 minutes to finish, excluding the picture upload.

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

Finally, a good article about this topic! I can’t believe I had to go thru like 20 blogs just to locate this good article. All their information jointly even now can’t equal the information of this post. I have learned a good deal and will bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!

Hi Yuga!

If you have time, please take a look at http://tonyocruz.com/?p=598 and at http://kameleon.darcke.com/ which is about a Pinoy-designed skin for the PSP.

Thanks!

I risk being tagged as a Nintendo fanboy the the web browser for the DS is much better for me. Not to mention I can type much faster because of the touch screen. Unfortunately, the DS browser does not have Flash support nor has internal/external memory that can make it capable of downloading/uploading files. Since the PSP firmware can be upgraded, the browser can be improved, while the DS browser requires a new cartridge.

It’s much better in the Nintendo Wii Internet channel powered by Opera 9 and has full Flash and AJAX support. I tried it out just before Christmas and it pretty much makes couch surfing possible, not to mention i can even play flash-based games. The wiimote is excellent as a screen pointer though, and hopefully, a firmware update will let Wii users plug in USB keyboards with little issues (t9 support is great, but i love to type!).

I remember a few years ago connecting my Sega Dreamcast to the internet via dial up and the Planet Web browser. Consoles connecting to the Internet have come a long way since then.

Just the same thing as using an O2 XDA Atom connected via wifi to blog but it has a touchscreen feature, so how’s the on screen keyboard of PSP? You’ll use the joystick to move over the letters? It’s quite tiring huh.
