The Play Station Portable (PSP) is a widely known game console but also a media tool that can be connected to Internet. To support this feature, PSP has an embedded micro browser, which is a version of the Net Front version, made by Access CO.LTD. Moreover, the micro browser was released for free and can support the most used web technologies, such as: HTTP, CSS and basic JAVA scripts. From the three existing models: PSP1000, PSP 2000 and PSP 3000, the last model has the fastest Internet browser. Bare in mind that none of the three models can not connect to Internet via USB cable!
