The problem is that the browser itself is awfully slow. If you're running Linux on the PS3 however, it's very responsive. The downside is that you lose Flash support. Hopefully we'll see an official version of Flash for Linux/PPC soon! The user interface to the Web browser on the PS3 has seen many improvements with the latest updates.

The response the Wii and the release of the Wiis browser is astounding. I'd note, the PS3 is not as simple and usable as the Wii's interface. Over the next 2 years, you will see a definite shift happening as media and electronics companies try to make a stake at the digital living room. In addition, surfing the web won't be the same interaction level in your living room. It's a different experience, calls for different UIs, apps, games, etc. A desktop experience is not a direct translation to the living room. Would you be opposed to playing all the classic games for free on your console? There are lots of opportunities coming. Like I said though, for now it is somewhat niche, the apps are different, experience is different, but its coming. Look for other major hitters to take a swing in 2007. I'd say February for Apple.

It allows you to connect to flashcomm server, so build multi-user / real-time games, use the PS3 Camera I hope etc ... what about performances on the PS3 ?

If you want to surf the web, use a PC or a Mac. Also, you can't create any flash 8-9 content, since they're only version 7. That's my initial impression of it for now. promptly slap me if I'm wrong :) Dazzer <a href="http://dazzer.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">dLabs - Flash AS3 Blog</a> I find it rather silly.
