For one thing, it didn't save passwords, making it real frustrating every time I want to play online at my college's WLAN...

I know that, but I was talking about things like your logon details for Gamespot, your login for an access point that requires an internet browser (which is my case), etc. In other words, passwords entered while in the browser don't get saved.

If your username/password was a bunch of numbers, then I bet it would be frustrating to have to type it in every time since it's not so easy to memorize.

Yes the PSP browser is garbage. The sites have been modified and some websites does not work with the PSP. There are no saved passwords and its a pain to type anything in.

What's the point of a password if you are just going to let the website remember it? Hell, at that point, your password might as well 1234. Same goes for the guy above me. xD

What exactly do you do on your wifi that you need an extensively powerful browser for anyway? I actually have internet at home, and when I'm out in town, the PSP wifi is only for convenience of portability and possibly just screw around on.

Um...the PSP browser isn't intended to be your primary internet source :/ It's damn smexy for when in the bathroom, out and about in town, what have you. But to judge it as your primary internet connection and your main source of the intetnet is kinda silly.

Silliness.

It's not as bad as some portable devices but it sucks compared to Iphone/Itouch.

But it is still the same browser as when it first came out, wish they would update it.

Does anyone know if the GO browser is better?

Then it's not the PSP's fault that your username/password is a bunch of numbers

and Its pretty easy to type in numbers on the PSP..

What's the point of a password if you are just going to let the website remember it? Hell, at that point, your password might as well 1234. Same goes for the guy above me. xD

Not if you use the password manager in something like Firefox. It stores it on your computer encrypted.

Actually, the point of a password is so other people can't log in as you and access your shh..

in other words, it verifies that it is you

So People who feel they don't need to log in over and over again set the website to remember their domain and password, because they're sure no one else has access to the device or PC

Well that's what I meant, it's not that hard for someone to steal your PSP, and with that have all your log-in information. A password is meant for you to know, and you only. If a device remembers it for you, then it basically ruins the point of a password. If you're too lazy to type it in, don't bother having one, or make it as easy as 1234.

And I just got my PSP yesterday, and the browser is pretty good in my opinion. Much better than most mobile phones. Also the one who said something about the iPhone, one of the main purposes of it is its web cabilities, so Apple used a lot of resources into the development of the browser, while the PSPs browser is going to be one of the least used features.

Interesting question, to me. I remember it for being a buggy turd and it's disappointing that Sony's basically done nothing to improve it over the years. Although now I want to test it out on my Go to see if it runs better than an older model....though I'm doubtful.

Hey people

IF YOU WANT TO TYPE THINGS EASIER, PRESS SELECT A FEW TIMES AT THE LETTER SCREEN

instead of nine boxes, you get the entire alphabet

tada!

Just test it then? Why debate something that takes like 20 seconds to do?
