Anyway, this is excellent news, and will possibly be the thing to push me over the edge and buy one of these suckers.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/
That is definately NOT just a picture, as the video shows the page loading...

Also, my immediate guess for how this works is just by hacking the home page for the game. You can add whatever you want to the page, but I don't believe this will allow you to type in an address, probably only some good old-fashioned linkage :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://john.gprime.net/~john/mirr0red/mozy.org/psp/psp_haxxed_by_roto-xvid.avi]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/

(BTW, please don't take all the l33t talk seriously. And to the engadget poster who said the video sucks...THANKS BUDDY! I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR PRODUCTION-QUALITY VIDEO CAMERA IN THE MAIL!)

Seems like a funny guy, I gotta say :-)

To update my last post, apparently there IS a keyboard API, but it only becomes available when typing into textboxes, so I'd imagine you could use this with a proxy php script, but there's still no way to natively type in any address.

I was also pretty close with my guess that he hacked the homepage, as he just set his proxy to redirect from the main address to one on his local network. Lucky for us, this doesn't require ANY hardware hacking :-)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/
The reason I didn't post about it is because the PSP renders any significant webpage *incredibly* slow. Loading a index.php from a forum took ~5 minutes. The rendering at this point is definitely unoptimized and unfinished. That being said, it *does* work. Guess someone could use it to read webmail or something.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/

Also, anyone who has a PSP also knows the native text entry method is one of the worst on the planet. So frustrating that so much potential is lost on this fragile device.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://psp-vault.com/module-pnForum-viewtopic-topic-156.psp]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/
admittedly, portable internet is better with.. hrmm... A LAPTOP... but a PSP websurf experience would require A LOT OF BOOKMARKS...

also you'd be hopping from link to link with the D-pad.. clunky]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/As for me, I am hoping that Sony gets us a good working browser update sooner because of this.

Yet another reason this thing rocks the house!

Also, as far as putting linux on the PSP, this could be possible. Someone would need to write a new ROM that with the boot loader and have it point to the memory stick/USB drive/Wireless network for rest of the Linux files. I'm not certain how easy this will be as I have not found any source information on the software the PSP can run.

Mouse emulation would be VERY easy. The game Untold Legend has a mouse and uses the analog disk for control and it works very well. I would think that in less then 6 months freeware apps running from the memcard will be released.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.pspcrazy.com/pspwipeoutbrowsertutorial.htm]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/psp-web-browser/
