Browser and MP3 player for PS2
Posted by @ 5:50 PM, EST
According to Famitsu Ergo Soft and Planetweb will release an Internet browser and MP3 software for PS2 in Japan by the years-end.
Here’s a bit of the article:

Planetweb's PS2 Internet browser will allow users to send/receive e-mail, as well as to play MP3 files. The software, when used in conjunction with Sony's hard disk peripheral -- scheduled for release in this winter --, a USB modem and PS2's exclusive memory card, will enable PS2 users to surf the net.

The PS2 MP3 software will permit users to playback MP3's on PS2 as well as encode their music CDs into MP3's and save them on SCE's hard disk. Unfortunately, the titles, sales date, and prices for the two new software titles remain unknown.
