NetFront internet browser. First, I'll mention everything I like about
it. Then, I'll go over some common criticism it recieves and shut it
down.
My #1 favorite thing about it is features. The PSP can do more than IE
and as much as much as Firefox, with great stuff like bookmarks and
tabs. Attaching to a network is easy and fast, thanks to the ability
to save configurations.
There are also a few common complaints I'd like to adress:
"Most sites aren't compatible."
That's an overstatement. Probably 60% of all sites work fine on the PSP. Of the remaining 40%, 50% have "mobile" versions that work great. So, 80% of sites are compatible.
"YouTube doesn't work."
Not with the normal browser, but you can install PSPTube (Google it) which works great.
"Text entry sucks."
Text entry is like on a phone, so you'd press "6" three times to type "m." However, for the nitpickety, you can switch to a plain numpad, a full QWERTY keyboard, or a symbols pad. A touch screen would help, but I typed this whole post up to the start of the complaints on my PSP. Then, I reached the maximum amount of characters it would allow. "Text entry sucks" probably is the most true complaint there is.
All in all, the PSP makes a great web browser for on-the-go, but if you can use a computer, I recommend that.
