PSP adds web & TV
It's official, the PSP is now completely perfect. Well, except for the lack of adventure, strategy and MMOs on it, of course.
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.
Slurp.
hooey! the thing the psp is lacking is anything remotley like a playable mobile game. it's a very nice portable media centre, but it's an awful mobile gaming device. The developers are following the conventions of console, instead of creating mobile games. Didn't we have this conversation about 5 times already!!! ;-)

Not with me yet, matt-san, but I agree, no good games yet.

I want to see better developer SDK's so that a more mainstream pro-developer community can enter.
As a handheld gaming device for an adult my hands get cramped. Can someone make a wireless or usb controller (or do any existing ones work?)
Push for more Infrastructure games, not this radius adhoc crap.
No one I know owns a psp, its lackluster development cycle, and limited games or 1st gen developers is breakin my balls.
