How to Get Free Wi-Fi Internet on a PSP

Although the PSP is primarily a video game device, it also has its own web browser, which uses local wi-fi to allow PSP users access to the Internet. Although the PSPs browser is a little bit on the simplistic side when compared with the iPhone and DSi browser, getting free wi-fi Internet on your PSP is fairly easy, and should take only a few minutes to set up.
