Sony PSP observations after a few days as a portable web browser

After using my Sony PSP as a portable browser, I thought I'd share a few observations. The built-in browser is quite nice and intuitive. Sony provides a good help screen just like they do in their games that is graphical and intuitive. I always wanted to be able to lay down my family room or on the couch while watching cable TV or a DVD and surf the web. I used to do this with a notebook computer which required a laptop desk, portable stand or an end table. I could never get comfortable with a notebook computer. With the PSP, it is small enough where you can actually get comfortable and then hold the PSP in your hands for browsing the internet.

Now don't get me wrong, the PSP is not a good replacement for a notebook computer. However as a ultra portable web browsing device, it is exactly what I was looking for when I bought it on the first day release in the USA last in March 2005. I actually got one around 7:30am at my local Best Buy. I highly recommend anyone who in addition to an awesome portable gaming device wants/needs a ultra portable web browser that a large enough screen to actually be useful go out a buy a PSP. It's definitely worth it.
