PSP Web Browser

July 22, 2005 | 4 Comments

Ever since I got my PSP a few weeks ago I’ve been thinking it was perfect for handheld Web browsing. Well, it’s no big surprise it’s soon going to get just that.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) will release a system software update for its PlayStation Portable (PSP) next week that will add several new functions to the handheld gaming device, including the ability to browse the Internet and download TV programs, the company said Thursday. Chief among the additions to version 2.0 of the software will be a Web browser. Accessible from the PSP’s main menu, the browser supports HTML 4.01 and will allow access to most Web sites.

But a very short time after it was released, hackers managed to browse the web with it. Sony’s version of a web browser is a bit behind the times, so-to-speak. Surely you did not miss this development?

No, of course not. But it was, as you say, a hack…and a fairly complicated one at that. As well the browser you could unlock wasn’t exactly the best they could do.

Oh – I also don’t own Wipeout. Which you need for that hack.
