Welcome to the New Street Tech Divide! Here's some new news on current and future technology:
By now, most people should know that the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) is well, a portable entertainment center, displaying pictures, playing movies, music, and of course, games. Through emulation, games from other game consoles can be played on the PSP. (Imagine the original Super Mario Bros. jumping around in Nintendo's rival console.) Anyways, not many people don't really assume video game consoles to be computers. THEY ARE.
So, imagine a certain operating system of say, 10 years ago. That's right, it's Windows 95. (Wait... 2005-10=1995 --- why did I do that? Oh yeah, tomorrow's the 10th anniversary of the release of Windows 95). Well, the PSP can now run Windows 95, which I can say very impressive. Source: Tom's Hardware
As for Internet access, the long awaited PSP 2.0 firmware update for North America has been delayed by Sony.
Sony PSPs were shipped with the 1.50 firmware originally, which many users tried to keep so they can run their homebrew applications, such as the port of Windows 95 (above). For those who wanted the Internet though, one had to go through such lengths such as using an alternate DNS (Domain Name Service) server when using the network option in the game Wipeout Pure. Instead of going to a locked Sony site where it's supposed to go, the update software is tricked to open a portal, that you can use the web browser then on freely, until you turn off the PSP.
Update: Sony has already released the firmware update; I'll update on this in a new post.
