How to Use the Internet in Your PSP Without an Internet Connection

The PSP Go is the latest addition to Sony's portable video game consoles. A new ability added to the Go's operating system is for it to be able to access the Internet using a cell phone as the source of the online connection. This is called "tethering" and works by the PSP Go connecting to the cell phone through Bluetooth. Going online through a cell phone connection is not as fast as using conventional wireless, but in situations where there is no WiFi, it could be considered a lifesaver for the PSP owner.
