Anyone have a PSP?
Permalink  

I didn't take my laptop on vacation, and I totally went through internet withdrawal.  So I started to look at PDA options.

It looks like $200+ for a PDA that is wifi enabled.

I don't want an iPhone or Blackberry, because I don't want to have a monthly cell phone bill.  I don't use my cell phone that much.  But I couldn't find a prepaid phone that I could connect to the internet to (the phoen can connect, but I couldn't find any prepaid data plans).

Then I thought about a Skype phone, but you can't browse the internet from them.

But while I was on the Skype website, they mentioned that you can use Skype with a PSP 2000 and PSP headphones.  I checked into it, and it does appear you can browse the internet at any wifi spot with a PSP.  A PSP and headphones at full retail price are $190.  And of course, you can play games, watch movies, and listen to MP3s.  (This also means I could listen to FFR anywhere there's wifi.)

So, what's the catch?  Does anyone have a PSP, does this all really work?

I had one and while you could surf the web it was very clumsy.

The keypad was a real pain because it's on screen and you have to use the joystick around to enter letters.

Also, a lot of websites didn't work just because the speed of the processor and the lack of much memory slowed them down really bad.

BUT, that was two years ago. They may have really improved now. I'm sure surfing the internet isn't much fun on any portable device.

I anticipated the keyboard issue, I can work around that.

There is a separate memory card that's $55 retail, I wonder if that would help with browsing the internet. I wish there was a way I could try one out before I buy it.

I was excited because I was able to get to the FFR website, but it didn't have enough memory to open the player.

I thought it would be cool to be able to listen to FFR on the PSP. I was able to watch the now playing page though, which was kind of cool
