I have to admit that the PSP is crap for typing into...but I am really identifying the number of people who are using wireless connections to do Internet browsing or e-mails etc.
I remember 11 years back when most were only just becoming aware of the Internet and www (well in the UK anyways) , thats kinda where we are with wi-fi. Predictably it will become absolutely paramount to have wi-fi connection quite soon (within a couple of years I believe). Wireless connectivity is the future, although I hope it is not via tiddly little mobile phones and PSP type devices - I like a keyboard or maybe speech will become more effective in the near future too?
Sad git that I may be I recently watched "Most Haunted Live" via the laptop upstairs, whilst the kids were making far too much noise downstairs, using both my other computers for Internet browsing and games playing, MSN etc.
Sony are already touting their new device Location Free Player for the PSP, you connect up a base station to your TV or DVD player and the Internet, and as long as your PSP is near a Wi-Fi hot spot you can control the telly, the dvd and watch your own programme schedule wherever you are in the world. Now that's pretty clever to achieve - although it doesnt take much to see that the technology already exists. Apparently you can even switch channels!
I guess Wi-Fi will make a rapid explosive inroad into our lives pretty soon then!
lol - I was in a large shopping store the other day and three lads had a couple of PSPs - they were trying to get on the store's wi-fi - apparently they succeeded (don't try this at home people - I think it is against the law!)
Where I live there are now three wi-fi channels (including mine) which my Belkin Router software recognises - it's already in my neighbourhood.
