Sony PSP as a portable web browser

I finally got around to start using my Sony PSP as portable web browser after installing the PSP 2.0 update (released 19Aug2005) a few weeks ago. I was having problems initially last month and just figured I would try it out later. Well it turned out that the wifi on/off switch on the left side of the PSP is by default set to the off position. After turning this switch on and configuring the PSP for my secured home WLAN and it works great! My first impression after using it last night for an hour or so is that this is a damn good portable browser. Much better than the mobile phones with their tiny screens. I tried that a few years ago and unsubscribed to the web enabled phone service I had with Sprint. The large PSP screen actually makes this a useable portable web browsing device. The coolest part is that the PSP is a awesome portable gaming and movie/music gadget.
