If you look at your Sony PSP as more of a portable internet browsing device than a handheld gaming console, then you may want to check out pspflashsystem‘s new homebrew application, Webapp v1.0. So what’s this application all about?

Basically, Webapp lets PlayStation Portable users launch the handheld’s browser at any time, whether it’s in the XMB menu, or even if it’s running a UMD or a homebrew game. However, do take note that once you jump to the browser while playing a UMD game, you’ll be sent back to the XBL menu upon exiting the browser.

There’s also another nifty feature to this homebrew program. Webapp also lets users set up a combination of button presses to start certain Eboot applications. It’s a good thing that pspflashsystem went the extra mile to make two versions of Webapp: one with manual installation, and another that can be installed automatically. Great, eh? To get to started on the right track, refer to this installation guide as supplied by pspflashsystem.
