The first ever blog post written completely on a PS3 [update 1]


[Update: Added the above picture of the PS3 blogging experience from my laptop. Our picture upload tool did not work on the PS3 browser]

This blog post is being constructed completely on the PS3's web browser using an IBM keyboard, a Microsoft mouse and a Panasonic HD projector (isn't it great when technology companies can work together?). The experience isn't completely seamless, though -- the browser doesn't render our web-based blogging software very well and essential blogger features like copy/paste and spell check are unavailable.

Still, the PS3's web browser provides a relatively full-featured surfing experience that's remarkably similar to that on the PSP browser (except without all the memory errors). Major props: Flash support, multiple windows and easy navigation using the PS3 controller. Major gripes: No Java support, a clunky text-entry interface and no easy way to stop pop-up windows.

We look forward to being able to download the Wii's Opera browser and doing a little compare and contrast once Nintendo's online service is up and running.
