Designing for PSPs - 5/15/2006 7:28:15   
Hi

Here's an interesting article about designing for Sony PSPs which have apparently broken all sales records since they were released.

I had a slight panic whilst checking through the stats for one of my sites the other day and noticed that I had visitors coming in from web TV and handhelds.

Luckily, due to having set the site up fluid with css, it seems to be rendering OK on both.

Small screens are just a pain IMO. Actually those PSP screens are bigger than a standard WAP screen.

I've only been able to limited text on a WAP screen and make it even somewhat useable.

Anyone know what kind of web numbers the PSP is actually running up? That article didn't give any that I could see.

I think I remember seeing that Sony were predicting 13m sales by now (that was back in early 2005 so it could be higher or lower).

Reason I'm interested is that I just got one for my husband - it's our anniversary tomorrow (a fact which, thank god he reminded me of yesterday!). I'll let you know what results I get playing on the thing but it's definitely much better than a WAP or even a PDA screen - it's got mid-sized screen resolution.

Maybe I should have been a little clearer. I was interested in how many actually browse the web. My step son has one and I know 2 other people that own one but none of them connect tot the Internet with them nor do they have any intentions to.

I have a PDA as well but it is not my browser of choice. :)

Don't know yet - I'm no expert on these things - but I reckon that there's a good chance of people playing online games on the things which may well increase the online browsing bit too.
