How to Put the Internet on a PSP

A PSP is an amazing piece of technology. Not only can you use it to play video games, listen to music and store pictures, but with just a slight bit of configuration, you can access the Internet on it via a Wi-Fi network. You and your PSP can get online and do just about anything you can do with a normal computer on the Internet.
