To connect to a wireless hotspot for internet browsing, that new menu feature on the PSP's front-end will let you hook up through your pre-set infrastructure configurations. A "Click To Network" button here will start the process. Find an open local WiFi router or log in to your home wireless network, and you are able to browse the internet. For browsing, you scan the page using an arrow cursor controlled by the system's analog controller. A small hide-away toolbar shows you access to common features such as Forward, Back, Reload and Refresh. From the demo, we were not able to tell what buttons performed which function, but we are assuming that the triangle brings up the toolbar (since it has that same function in the PSP's Movie and Music and Game menus), and certain often-used functions will also be on the face buttons or D-Pad. We did not see a Zoom feature, as in the DreamCast PlanetWeb browser, but because the PSP is displaying on a screen this sharp and this much closer to you, text reading shouldn't be as much a problem on the handheld.
The PSP browser's feature set includes Favorites feature to set your favorite sites up for easy access. You will also be able to define a Home page for your starter page once online. For URL input, there is a slightly modified version of the dial-a-letter standard virtual PSP keypad, with quick access to typing "http://" or ".com". Also making things handier is an autofill feature, where the system attempts to help complete your URL without you having to dial the whole long list in. Features such as these will help make the system accessible with just the gameplay controls, although we're eager to see Sony include support in its OS for USB mini-keypads, particularly now that there's a fully-featured browser on the system.
