PSP Good News, Bad News
First a piece of good news for PSP users, a recent firmware upgrade lets you schedule RSS video feeds to be downloaded automatically over WiFi. This is great because even short videos take several minutes to download so now you do not have to wait - it will wake itself up and do it in the middle of the night so no more waiting. Thanks to the Learning in Hand blog for the news.
And now the bad news, the updates are still not fixing a fundamental problem of using the PSP for web based applications - the browser cache is so small that many sites with graphics won't even load, my web based email will not load unless rebooting to clear the cache, and of course, running Flash is problematic if the file sizes are anything but small or in a higher version.
So, an open letter to Sony... FIX IT! How hard can it be?
While you are at it, please enable streaming video and reading content in the browser from the memory card.
