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.

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.

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.

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!
