okay, here is a more technical answer.

i find it highly unlikely the prs supports java script enough to get any kind of program to run on the 700.

now that means it would need to be a program. now a program like this could defenatly be run on the processor of the 700, and might work quite well, but there is a major think standing in its way, and that is that the 700 has no native aplication launching as far as i know. knowing what i know of the PSP homebrew scene, this is what made hacking the psp entirely possible.

now, to say that in the future, someone might hack the native firmware of the 700 enough to add aplication launching, I find this highly unlikely, the 700 has a very small user base, and most coders and hackers who i know, do it for the fame of the community, the 700 has almost no community.

now, lets get to a device that is closer to the prs 700, a 400 mgz processor. If im not mistaken, the Play station 2 has a 400 mhz processor. so to say that the 700 is a weak machine is wrong. its powerful. but here are my caviates, the homebrew community on the playstation 2 is serverly limited, despite having a user base of closer 10,000:1 compared to the 700. the PS2 is Limited to small programs that run in a text interface, Despite the graphics power of the PS2.

so, from the Homebrew community, i do not expect the 700 will be able to draw on it.

the odds of the homebrew community giving the 700 this functionality in my mind is, 1 in 100,000

Now, that does not leave out the possibility that Sony Might add the function to the prs in the future. but knowing sony for years, i think odds of this is about 5% the highest. sony has dragged their feet with the PRS firmware development. hell, even amazon drags its feet with firmware development, and they activly work on it, while as far as everyone is concerned, they are not working on adding functionally to the 700
