How to Connect PSP to the Internet

Wi-Fi Handbook: Building 802.11b Wireless Networks (McGraw-Hill Networking Professional)


By Lee Barratt
Connecting your Sony PSP to the internet is very simple. You don't need any extra hardware to get your PSP online.

First of all I would advise that you download the new PSP 4.01 upgrade, this will give your Sony console some more added internet options like the, Go Messenger and an easy internet search option. Once you have downloaded the new update, the next thing you need is a Wi-Fi connection, here's a step by step guide on how to get your PSP online.

1. Enable your PSP's wireless connection, if you don't know how to do this, take a look in your handbook.

2. If your Wi-Fi has a password security option, make sure you know what the password is, you might have to enter your password to allow you to get online.

3. You have to then go to the Network option on your PSP menu. Then scroll down to Internet Browser and click on this option, this will open the browser.

4. Once the browser opens, click on File and next on Address Entry. Using the typing option, enter a webpage you wish to visit.

5. Once you type in your website, the console will then try and connect to the internet. It will now scan for the Wi-Fi connection, enter your password if you have one.

6. Your console will now connect to the internet. It will open on the website you typed in. That's it you will now be online.

You can visit any website you wish, only some will not work like You Tube. The PSP internet Browser doesn't have the ability of playing the You Tube videos.

Excellent but expensive

Belkin Pleated Neoprene Kindle Keyboard Sleeve Black/White

By Mrs L.C

When I first decided to buy the fantastic Kindle3 I thought it was only right to get the cover designed for it.

My first thought on which cover to get was that both the standard and the lighted one were brilliant but about a third too expensive. Looking at the prices I decided that I should economise so I bought the standard cover without the light thinking that I already have a simple clip on light that would do the job fine.

Both the covers (excepting the light) are the same so the following review applies to both models.

The cover arrived (before the Kindle) and it is very very good. It fits the Kindle perfectly and in so doing gives protection. I really like the way that it is styled, the leather is gorgeous, the colours lovely (I bought the burnt orange) and it is so easy to use. It attaches to the Kindle in a matter of seconds, and in use is simplicity. I really like the elastic closure band, no fuss, just does the job. I also really like the way I can fold the cover back, fix it with the band and then either hold the Kindle with one hand or rest it on a cushion or in a book stand for 'hands free' use. The inside of the cover has a lovely 'felty' feel to it, so not only does it completely protect the screen and buttons of the Kindle, but it is also non slip so rests very easily on an angled surface.

Attaching my clip on light was ok, but after only a few days the battery was going down (because I was using the Kindle so much!) so I decided to think again about the lighted cover!

Having initially disregarded the lighted cover due to its cost I began to see the advantages over having a separate light. The light is always there! After kicking myself a bit over having wasted money on buying the standard cover I ordered the burgundy red lighted cover. It is brilliant! It is so clever just having the light there all the time, safely tucked away when not needed, but instantly available in low light. I thought the light would be uneven and therefore annoying but it is a very gentle natural light and becomes unnoticeable once absorbed in the reading - which is very very easy to do.

I don't understand why anyone having bought the best e-reader on the market will want to buy a cover which slips off or is just a stick-on cover. Don't hesitate about buying the best cover designed for the Kindle which does the job so brilliantly. Yes it is expensive but it will last, is a quality product and makes my Kindle look an even more amazing piece of kit than it already is in its own right.

What I Like and Do Not Like About the Kindle 2.0

Kindle Keyboard, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display

By Maya Kadouf
First, let's explain what Kindle 2.0 is all about. This is an e-book reader, meaning it's a device to read electronic books from. The screen is actually quite nice and very easy to read from. I tried reading side-by-side with the Kindle and a standard book and only notice little to no difference. So reading is very easy on the eye, with its non-reflective screen.

On the battery life, at full charge and with Whispernet's 3G wireless on, I manage to get 10 days of battery life on the Kindle 2.0, which was pretty amazing. Hats off to the engineers who put this together because it's fantastic.

Some of the issues that people had with the first Amazon Kindle was that the next page button was too large. So it's easy for someone to accidentally hit the next page button. This problem has been fixed in the Kindle 2.0. You can't accidentally click the next page button anymore because it's positioned in such a way now that you need to intentionally click inside the button to turn the page. Kindle 2.0 also now comes with a new 5-way navigational pad. You can scroll up, down, left, right, and push it in for the fifth button.

The screen is ample for comfortable reading, although the one complain I would have is the Kindle 2.0 not having touch screen capabilities. The full QWERTY keyboard takes up a lot of space. Although it's very helpful when you're searching for text, you spend most of your time reading and not searching. So, to be able to fully utilize the real estate on the Kindle device here would have been nice with the touch screen capabilities.

Cheaper Book :Kindle Touch, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Touch Screen Display

Kindle Touch, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Touch Screen Display 

By Haitbois

I wasn't too sure about getting a Kindle, feeling that they somehow undermined physical books, that they were too expensive, etc.  However, I decided to buy a Kindle based on the good reviews I'd heard, as well as having to move soon, and not having enough space for my books. I was sceptical, but once my Kindle arrived, I absolutely LOVED it! I can't believe I didn't buy a Kindle sooner. It's incredibly small and light-weight, and easy to hold.  The kindle store is incredibly accessible, and having your account automatically syncronised to it means you can start ordering as soon as you open the box (I must also add the packaging was very innovative- almost as exciting as the Kindle!).  There are some amazing deals to be had via the Kindle store- many of the great Classics you can easily pay £7.99 for are free(another reason to buy a Kindle) and many best sellers are much, much cheaper than if you'd bought a physical copy of the book. You can also make lists of books with certain features, allowing easy access.  I particularly like the note and highlight settings, making it easy to find and store memorable passages.  The Kindle Touch isn't perfect- other reviewers have mentioned the screen's "ghosting", which is a problem at first but you soon get used to it.  You also don't get a paper copy of the manual, only a digital edition.  This can be a pain, especially as it does take a while to get used to navigating around the kindle. However, these features are easy to overcome.  My only other quibble is that some books can be rather expensive (a digital edition of some modern classics is often only £2 cheaper than the paperback.) Try it- even if you only download Austen, Hardy and the likes, it'll easily pay for itself! Can't wait to take it on holiday with me. Delvery was fast, bought it for my wife, easy to use and connects to the internet although in black and white, can be used to surf the net which I did not realise, totally happy with the product, easy to work, purchase books, they could be cheaper downloaded as no paper used, or marketing, so come on lets reduce the price of online books????

A couple of good, hard presses and your Kindle is safely housed -

 

  Amazon Kindle Lighted Leather Cover, Saddle Tan

At just over 56% of the cost of the Kindle, the cover is quite pricey... and I'm not entirely convinced it's worth it.

For your money you receive the neatest and best-fitting case/light combination available. The leather is smooth and well-stitched (for those of you who own Amazon Kindle Keyboard covers, the whole outside part of the new cover is now made from the same texture leather as the smooth section on the right-hand side of the front cover). The Kindle clips snugly and neatly into a hard rubbery tray-type slot which has sculpted edges to allow access to the page turn buttons, power switch and micro USB port.

A couple of good, hard presses and your Kindle is safely housed - and not coming out again in a hurry. The inset design is a really nice feature, making Amazon's the only case I've found that doesn't in some way obscure the front of the Kindle, whilst giving the best protection to the corners and sides that I've seen anywhere. The Kindle connects to the case via the two little square metal 'tabs' on its reverse side - these make contact with 2 small retracting prongs in the tray slot of the case. Very neat, and very easy to set up. The new, centered position of the reading light definitely feels less vulnerable than the pull-out style of the Kindle Keyboard covers.

One of the best features of the Amazon lighted leather cover is that it shares power with the Kindle, without causing too significant a drain on battery life (in my experience, less drain than having Wi-fi switched on). There's no need for heavy/cumbersome batteries that need replacing and add significantly to the bulk of the case - you just recharge your Kindle as/when needed.

The packaging the cover comes in is really minimal - a DVD/CD style envelope and the cover in a plastic bag inside. There were no instructions at all (and they're really not necessary), but also no sign of a warranty document: unusual for Amazon who include a 19-page brochure with even a basic camera lens-cleaning pen... though I'm confident that if anything goes wrong an email to Customer Services will work its usual magic.

So why not five stars for the neatest case + light solution around?

The case is very small, very light, very neat and extremely pocket-friendly. But what it's gained in functionality it has lost in quality. It doesn't feel anything like as robust as the Kindle Keyboard case. Although the felted lining is the same, there's no cushioning at all in the front cover and the spine is disappointingly floppy (there won't be anyone needing to ask if it can be bent back: it does this on its own). The reading light points directly down the page, creating a slightly shaded area in the upper corners of the screen and as it has no shielding at the top it shines into your eyes. Above all, though, I'm disconcerted by the lack of any form of closure. This doesn't inspire me with a great deal of confidence that things won't work their way between the cover and the Kindle screen when it's in my bag.

I loved the previous generation of covers, and expected to feel the same about this. Instead, it's a slightly damp and expensive squib that protects the Kindle in exemplary fashion at the back and sides but overall hasn't been as well thought-out as it could have been.

Make Your E-Reader Even More Useful With These Great Accessories

Marware Atlas Kindle and Kindle Touch Cover, Black

By Chack Norrison

E-readers like the Amazon Kindle, the Sony PRS and the Irex iLiad have revolutionized the world of reading, allowing book lovers to carry their entire library of favorites with them no matter where they go. These lightweight and versatile e-readers are perfect for travelers, giving road warriors the chance to take their favorite books with them as they travel from place to place. But even though these readers are very versatile and easy to use they can be even more useful with the right accessories. Popular accessories like covers, reading lights, earphones and power adapters make these already versatile e-readers even more so.

Reading Lights

One of the best things about the Amazon  Kindle Touch Cove is the fact that its unique eInk technology does not use a backlight, and this allows the Kindle to read just like a physical book, even in bright sunlight. Unlike backlit devices that appear washed out in bright light, the Amazon Kindle allows readers to enjoy their favorite books even in full sunlight. That also means that readers who want to make the most of the Kindle in dim light should look at purchasing an add-on reading light. This is especially important for those who like to read in bed after their partners have gone to sleep and turned off the bedside lamp.

Amazon sells an excellent reading light for the Kindle, and all Kindle owners should look at this unique accessory. The reading light simply snaps on to the Kindle, making it easy to read in even the dimmest light.

The Sony PRS e-reader also comes with its own add-on book light, as does the e-Reader from Barnes and Noble and the iRex Iliad. When purchasing an e-reader buyers should look at the accessories that come with the unit, as well as any add-on accessories that can be attached later. Accessories like reading lights make these e-readers even more useful and powerful.

Earphones

Reading is by its very definition a quiet activity, and adding a pair of noise canceling earphones or headphones to your e-reader is the perfect way to create the calm and quiet environment you need to enjoy your electronic books. When looking for a set of e-reader headphones it is important to look at their noise canceling abilities, as well as their compatibility with the type pf e-reader you have. Each major brand of e-reader has its own set of earphones, and it is a good idea to purchase a set of earphones that has been specifically designed for your e-reader model.

Power Adapters

One of the most important things to look for in an e-reader is a long battery life. A good battery is especially critical for those who plan to take their e-readers on the road with them, but it is important no matter how you plan to use your electronic book.

Those who plan to use their e-readers extensively will also need to look at the possibility of purchasing an add-on power adapter for when the battery finally gives out. These power adapters can be used to recharge the battery and to provide power when the battery begins to run low. Amazon sells a number of excellent power adapters for the Kindle, including several models designed to provide flexible charging from both 110V and 220V outlets. These flexible power adapters are the perfect choice for frequent travelers.

Barnes and Noble's entry in the e-reader market, known as the Nook, comes with its own AC adapter, but it is also compatible with a number of universal adapters. Those who plan to use their e-readers on the road may want to look into the purchase of a universal charger and AC adapter for the Nook e-reader.

Owners of the Sony PRS e-reader may want to consider the rapid charging kit that includes not only a fast wall charger but a car charger as well. Many e-reader owners find themselves using their e-books in their vehicles, and the ability to easily and quickly charge the battery in the car can be a real convenience.

No matter what type of e-reader you choose it is important to look at the accessories that can make these powerful units even more useful. From power adapters to bedside reading lights, these special accessories can enhance the usefulness of these great innovations.

Kindle touch does its job

Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display

Kindle touch does its job.... well! 13 May 2012

By Yorkshire Chap

Increasing health problems have meant that reading and holding conventional printed books is now difficult most the time, and sometimes impossible. I was bought, as a gift, one of the newly released Kindle Touch (UK release April 2012)with the view that it might bring back the pleasure I used to have reading.

So far, after 2 weeks of use, there have been no problems with the device at all and its performance has exceeded expectations. Now, I must admit that this is my first experience of an e-reader device (I have not used any tablets yet, either) so I am in no position to compare with other similar technology. But, here is my take on the pro's and con's of the Kindle Touch (2012 vintage).

The set-up of the Kindle was fairly straight-forward - after reading the manual from cover to cover (I am one of those saddo's who download manuals on their laptop so they can swot-up before the device has even been delivered!). The setup of the Kindle account/ wireless connection/ e-book management system (called "Collections") is not too deep in the menu system as to be user unfriendly. Anybody who is a technophobe could get a techie friend set up in a few minutes - thereafter..... don't need to do anything more!

Things I like:

1.The device is easy to hold (about 330g with extra protective case; quite compact);

2. Screen very easy on the eyes, less fatiguing;

3. Font changeable and re-sizable;

4. Touch screen Navigation of books, mini-onscreen keyboard and menu system is surprisingly precise - even with nerve damaged, ill-coordinated digits!;

5. Able to carry around loads of books (and PDF/ Word DOC documents!) without knackering myself!

6. Easy to purchase books from Amazon.

7. The Daily Deal - books for 99p. Excellent!

8. Long charge-life of battery.

Things I Don't like:

1. The robot sounding text to speech facility;

2. The naff products that some publishers are putting out for Kindle - check the book & newspaper/ magazine reviews for KINDLE versions on Amazon before buying (if they offer a trial or sample to download - do that, before you part with hard earned cash!). eg some books etc are put out as Kindle versions, but do not have necessary pictures converted and included in the new version :o( BUYER BEWARE!!

3. Not able to use the Kindle with e-books from the electronic UK Library - the DRM protected E-PUB format that UK libraries use is not usable with Kindle devices.

4. Unable to bring onboard anyother formats of e-book other than the Kindle formats (MOBI; AZW; PRC) -Amazon, I suppose have to make a living. I normally buy my books via Amazon, but I would like the option. Not everything I would like is available in Kindle version.

Handy things to know:

1. Can convert E-PUB books (non-DRM protected) into Kindle format using free software (Google "Calibre").

2. Loads of free e-books available on Interweb (and indeed, to their credit, Amazon - look for "Free book collections" for out of copyright stuff).

Summary: For what I wanted, reading books with less physical effort, it does a stormingly good job. Just don't expect to play "Angry Birds" on it!

ps don't reply if you have found a way to do that - I'm not interested!!
