It came out on the PSX (PS2 based DVR unit) though, so did Yamanaka only do the PSP/PS3 version? (How about Sony Ericsson phones that also use it?)

The browser is terrible, amazingly terrible. But from my perspective, I'd rather see it completely ignored so that development efforts could be assigned elsewhere in the PS system. I don't need or want a browser in my game console (and get irritated when, from whatever circumstance, it tries to launch itself at which point I immediately shut it back down). If I want to browse the internet, I'll sit down to either Safari or Firefox, and that's on my Mac.

And their console is VERY open. You can upgrade the HDD. The rechargeable cable for their controller is USB. They use Bluetooth so you can use any headset, keyboard, mouse, etc. You can run Linux on it. They even has TOSLINK and were the first to have HDMI on their console.
So don't be bitching and moaning that just because they came out with Memory Stick Pro Duo (something that is available on damn near every laptop/desktop for card reading) and UMD (which I agree stinks) doesn't mean they are the proprietary Nazis from hell.

They must have just forgotten the entire history of video game consoles before Sony got into it. :p
"The SNES isn't open enough! Why won't it support homebrew? They're trying to force their cartridge-based proprietary format on us!" haha...
But you're right, the PS3 is very open. You can drop in any old mini SATA drive to upgrade it, and I use a Dell keyboard/mouse, and Plantronics headset with mine. On a 360 I'd have to spend several times standard market price for a tiny Microsoft hard drive...

That said, I often wonder of Sony is starting to think the PlayStation is supposed to be a fully functional computer. Bit by bit they seem to be adding more features--more media management oriented functionality--and if that is their direction then the XMB is not up to that task and will continue to hamstring them going forward.

Go to the file, open up the information section, and put a name into album.
