Installing Ubuntu on PS3 is a very easy but time consuming task. The installation process takes much longer on PlayStation 3 than on a normal PC.
Before we start: Warning: You will have to partition the hard drive on your play station in order to accommodate two Operating Systems. What this means is that the hard drive will be formated. What I recommend is backing up before partitioning.

Step 0 Backup:

• Start your PS3
• Go to Settings > System Settings > Backup Utility
• Choose Back Up
• Finally, pick the device you want to save your backup to (memory stick, external hdd, etc).

I bought my PS3 a year ago and since then I was trying to use it as a media center. I bought the PS3 in a package with a 40″ Sony Bravia, the full hd model, and a sound system. I realised that I’d rather watch my movies on the TV than on my 20″ monitor. This is where the challenges came.

Fiirst I tried using Windows Media Player. All was well the PS3 found the server no problem BUT I couldn’t play most of the videos because PlayStation 3 doesn’t have codecs for them and you cannot install any.

What are the pro's vs con's of both the PDA and iPhone? I really like the iPhone but hate the £35 a month contract.

iphone can only be servicedby AT&T and if you jail break it Apple will shut off all critical updates to your phone, new drivers virus protection ect the phone will continue to work but if you use it for email or the net youwil not have current virus protection, this is fact from Apple and AT &T

I'd say its a smartphone.
