white looks a bit crap, with that big expanse of black in the middle.

meh i dont care how good it is at web browsing, 1) screen will be too small to be usefull, 2) what do u point and type with?

my PDA can go on the web, but its the same deal, the screens too small, it takes an age to load and resize everything, but at least u can sorta type/write with the stylus and use it to click links

I'm not sure I would like a white PSP. I think it being black makes it look kinda kewl. And PLEASE Sony don't make a grey one, that's getting into tacky DS land.

Regarding the browser, it's a good idea. It all depends on how it's presented. I know the screen is small, but as long as the software reduces all fonts to one size, and has some form of graphic reduction with added javascript support, then I think it's prefectly viable. Not as good as your PC or laptop, but how many of them can you throw in your handbag or pocket?

I really think the white looks like crap. It just looks bad. I don't know why, but I wouldn't want one. Its kind of an eye sore really. As far as the browers go.. I'm happy its coming out. Not just so I can surf the web officaly, but because it shows the sony really wants to make the PSP more then just a gaming handheld. They talked about a lot of 'things to come in the future' when the PSP launched, hope this is just the start.
