What I think is funny is that the browser does not currently support flash, so many websites that have flash content or flash ads on them will look odd or be undisplayable on the PSP. I wonder how fast the browser is...

That said, the improvements in the firmware are currently Japan only right now. It is nice that Sony finally decided they wanted to compete properly and made a different colored PSP. Now, if they would only do something about that price....

Why don't you ask all those folks browsing with mobile phones? I'll bet they'd wet ther pants at the thought of all that extra screen real estate.

Looks nice enough for PSP, I mean it's not like you'd spend hours surfing the net on it. I like the TV on demand thing though. Would be nice to be able to receive foreign stations over the net for nothing. This is something that is gonna happen sooner or later as it already has happened with radio stations on the net.

I'll look forward to the day I can watch foreign tv without any diluted rubbish we usually get.

I think it's a godsend.

Flash is, by and large, drivel.

It adds little to the Web but noise. When it was conceived, as a way of saving bandwidth by rendering vector graphics, it was genius... but the way it has been used - for lazy or talentless people to foist their piss-poor animations on us... is a great shame.

I admit that there is some truly great Flash... but less than 1% of all Flash falls into this category.
