PSP Browser

[SAAER45]

Since prices have dropped a little, I was considering buying a Sony PSP... Keeping this in mind, I don't understand how you would operate the web browser that Sony advertises. How does navigation of the internet work? There obviously isn't a mouse, so do you just have to tab around with the buttons that are already on the device, or what?

Thanks In Advance...

The controller is an "analog stick" as it is called that you simply move around and click a button when making the selection. The fire button would have the dual purpose of substituting the left click seen on the standard mouse. The interactive viewing of one model can be tried out with popup descriptions seen at http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP/System/InteractiveViews

Yep, you still get a pointer on the screen, and you move it around with the analog stick. When you hold square, the analog stick scrolls around the page. Back and Forward are the Left and Right shoulder buttons, which is convienient. It's actually quite easy, considering you have to use a controller instead of a mouse.

Gee that's almost as easy as using the MS Trackball Explorer here. The only drawback with browsing there is the rather small screen especially if you want to go through a lot of text. Your eyes might start to bulge out a little. !

Well now join the Trackball club! The only problem found there is that you can't connect it to the PSP too easily. ! no trackball! I guess you just have to use the analog stick.
