Get AIM on your PSP
Sunday, February 19, 2006
I've been playing with a new service which allows Sony PSP users to log into their AIM accounts and instant message their friends. The new service, AIMonPSP, is free, but is currently in beta. AIMonPSP doesn't use Flash or Java, because those formats are not supported in the latest version of the firmware, but uses JavaScript to open up a new window. They describe it as:AIMOnPSP is an AOL Instant Messenger client for the Sony Playstation Portable. The purpose of this project was to make a web-based AIM client that can be used in almost any browser that supports JavaScript (such as the one included in the new PSP firmware); it uses no Java or Flash. AIMOnPSP is a free service and runs from our server which means that you don't have to download anything or load anything onto your PSP in order to use it.I'm very excited about the potential of instant messaging and VoIP on a PSP. While I've been looking forward to a service that can chat with all protocols, like Trillian, for my PSP, this is a good start. I would really like to see a form of a PSP keyboard come out so typing wouldn't be such a pain on the fingers (you have to enter each letter), so having a long chat with a friend can take forever to type out.

Logitech are releasing a keyboard for the PSP. It'll be really good handy to have and instant messenger on the PSP then.

Anonymous: I had no idea that Logitech was going to release a keyboard for the PSP. It would sure make my life easier (Such as answering e-mails on the road, or elsewhere). Thanks for the heads up ;-)!
