PSP Homebrew developer Deerwings has posted his first app down at our forums: the PSP Browser JavaScript Keyboard. The app was written with Danzeff's Keyboard in mind, only Deerwing's app was designed specifically to be able to input text in a web browser.

Currently you can't access the keyboard while browsing through a page because the author wasn't able to replace the original OSK with the app yet. Deerwings describes his app this way:

This is a Javascript PSP keyboard that works for your web browser. [...] This javascript keyboard is basically an html page that you load with your browser, and then set as your homepage or load as a favorite as you like, in order to open up webpages more quickly and less frustratingly.

Here's the developer's notes:

• Built-In Google Search button - Allows you to enter plain text into the field and automatically submit to Google. Get your results even faster!
• Built-In Google Proxy - Allows you to use Google's Small Device proxy. Breaks up pages to fit on cellphones and other small devices. Getting out of memory errors? This may help!
• Full QWERTY Keyboard - Includes commonly used symbols as well as letters and numbers, and a keypad for direct IP address entry.
• To install this, all you have to do is unzip it to your root MSO:/ , (Or wherever you like) and then open your browser and navigate to file:/kb.html (Or wherever you put it).

Users are encouraged to read the help file included in the bundle. If you have any questions or wish to discuss the app, follow the link to our forums below.

Homebrew developer JPJunkie (pspfreefiles) has released the latest update to his Flash Portal for the Sony PlayStation Portable called Ultimate PSP v1.6. For those of you who haven't heard of this kind of software, it's a nice package of Flash Games and other applications in one big bag.

Ultimate PSP v1.6 contains 150 Flash games, 29 applications and a link to JPJunkie's new forum where you can tell him what you think of his work and maybe suggest a few things that could be implemented in later versions.

Installation is easy and can be done in a few steps. But you have to read the included readme to sort the procedures out. Enjoy all the nifty stuff and the new forums linked! JPJunkie also says the forums will soon need moderators.

QJ.NET reader Someone_PR sent us an email regarding the new build of eBuddy Mobile especially designed for PlayStation Portable users. For those who are unaware of this service, eBuddy is actually a web and mobile messenger capable of supporting instant messaging services such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, and MySpace among others.

According to the company, the decision to come up with the PSP-friendly version was because of the steady rise of chatters who access the service through the Sony handheld. The current release is still in beta build but even so, a handful of features have already been incorporated to it.

Speaking of which, the new version of eBuddy Mobile comes with full emoticon support as well as a wide array of language compatibility: English, Deutsch, Espanol, Francais, Magyar, Italiano, Arabic, Nederlands, Portugues and Pt. Brasileiro. It was said that more languages will be added in future versions.

If you want to know more, you can refer to the Source link below for more information. But if you are familiar with the drill, go ahead and point your PSP browser to m.ebuddy.com to access the service. No download will be required and it is free to use.

This next one is a LITTLE clarification about what has transpired the last 24 hours concerning Team M33's newest release, CFW 3.52 Update #3. Apparently, the program has refused to work and, in more serious incidents, have bricked a number of PSP units because of issues with some sites and the program's license.

QJ.NET reader MikeyMike01 sent us the information below in the hope that all misunderstandings and issues will be resolved. Here's the message, verbatim:

• Going to, or having gone to "Criminal" Sites does not, and cannot cause a brick.
• Upon completion of installation, one can still visit "Criminal" Sites
• The ONLY code implemented by team M33 is one that checks to make sure that the MD5 is the correct one. Any editing of the installation (Including ICON0, etc.) done will result in a non-functional bricked PSP. Any files on "Criminal" sites have been edited, and thus are causing brickage.
• The one hosted here on QJ is not an intentional bricker, which does not carry any higher risk of bricking than any other CFW install (Next to none)

That clears a whole lot of conspiracy theories and rumors floating around the interwebs, right? Lesson to be learned: be careful and check out readmes that come with anything you install on your PSPs. It doesn't hurt to be cautious.

UPDATE: MikeyMike01 has sent us another bit of information regarding the clarifications. Apparently, the tipster was referring to visiting the "Criminal" sites using a PC (bricking your PSP because you visited a site on your PC is quite absurd). According to MikeyMike01, in case you did visit the Criminal site on your PSP browser, "you still have to delete your ms0:/SYSTEM/BROWSER folder".
