this picture makes me feel all funny inside
and has got me wondering whether it's possible to get online using the PSP and wireless networks in Korea.
Anyone know? |

| Yes. It does it out of the box. You can use your home wireless network for free or buy a NESpot ID for $5 a month and then use it all over the place in Korea. |

| Am I understanding this? If I have a wireless 8011a/b/g (sp) router the PSP will function as an internet browser? |

11Mb/s. It's a generic wireless connection.

Yes. With a Korean PSP or a foreign version upgraded with the version 2 OS. |

| wild. Is version 2 the hacked one or the latest one? Or I suppose a more important question is- has the latest version been hacked yet? |

| Version 2.5 is the latest secure one which only began shipping in the last few days after the prior version was broken. The lower versions of version 2 can be downgraded to version 1 which then allows for the running of unsigned code. |

Sweet sweet sweet.
Will the guy who sells me the PSP be able to set me up with NESpot do you think? What sort of places in Seoul might I find a wireless hotspot? |

But that's downhill with the wind at your back. My buddy totes his notebook around Seoul and rarely gets fast connections. Nevertheless, it's good enough to surf the net. But that's about it. Forget about opening those pages with the Jessica Simpson upskirt shots you've been dying to see. |

When you purchase a PSP in Korea, it comes with an NESpot kit. Starbucks used to have hotspots, maybe the airport does? |

NESpot is pretty pervasive all over the country. It's in bus terminals, coffeshops, libraries, University campuses. Pretty much all over the place. Especially in big cities like Seoul. I think you'd be able to find a signal relatively easily.

My PSP is a Japanese import. Is there somewhere I can pick up one of these NESpot packs? Also, how is the $5 a month paid for- cards, direct debit?
Information please. |
