Plug 'n play: tablets work well with PS3

You can plug all sorts of USB devices into your PS3. For example, you can plug in a keyboard and mouse into the system, making your PS3 a rather capable internet browsing device. Binaryfiend from YouTube discovered that you can also plug in a USB tablet, and the PS3 will accept the connection no questions asked. Watch as he quickly surfs through the XMB faster than a standard controller, and see how comfortably he can use the PS3 with just a stylus.

PS3's ability to interface with a variety of non-proprietary devices is really amazing. Add this to the growing list of gadgets we can connect to our systems: keyboards, mice, printers.

Yea, my Nokia N810 works perfectly well with the PS3, shows up as anyother stoarge device. Too bad, I cannot use the keyboard on it to use with the PS3 ... that would be awesome.

All we need now is Adobe Photoshop on the PS3.

Then it's over. But that shit would be more expensive than the PS3 itself. Photoshop is like 600 bucks (which is why everyone STEALS it!).

Why go that way...

Install Linux on your PS3 and use Gimp... both for free as in free beer!

But then, the RAM of the machine is WAY too small... Even my 2GB machine gets in trouble, when I do stuff in Gimp^^
