4 Comments
Following minor delays, Sony has made available firmware version 2.0 for its PlayStation Portable, which most notably adds a full-fledged Web browser to the entertainment device. The update has been highly anticipated by U.S. PSP owners following its release in Japan, with some resorting to installing that version.
In addition to Web browsing, PSP firmware 2.0 adds support for watching video in 4:3 display mode, H.264 (AVC) video playback, new music formats, and WPA-PSK wireless security. The update may bring one unwelcome change for some PSP users, as it makes changes to the device's built-in security in order to thwart hackers from creating homebrew applications.
