After losing a heap of weight and becoming a true gadget supermodel recently with the introduction of the PSP Slim & Lite, the handheld seems to be going from strength-to-strength in terms of functionality.
The next version of the of the firmware, 3.80, is going to add Internet radio via Wi-Fi to what is becoming one of the most versatile gadgets out there.
In addition to being able to stream Net radio, version 3.80 also brings a few other appreciated tweaks, including video scene searching – instead of just by timeline – and RSS support for photos and OPML feeds. Japanese PSP 2000 owners with 1Seg tuners can use an EPG and turn the PSP into a DVR. The software will even turn the PSP off to save batteries once the recording is down.
The Japanese get the firmware update tomorrow, Dec 18th, so it’ll be a few weeks at most before the update flies this way.-Martin Lynch
