Sony revealed a gleaming white PSP edition at a Playstation Meeting event in Japan today, as well as the v2.0
firmware upgrade. The white PSP will hopefully do something about hiding those pesky fingerprints which are quite
obvious on the current black model. However the real news is about the firmware. If
past upgrades are anything to go by, v2.0 will
indiscriminately disable all the PSP homebrew hacks out there. On the bright side, the new firmware adds WPA (wireless
security standard) support, an official Sony web browser and a wireless photo swapping feature. Also in a possible
Japan only release, Sony have added a new feature called Portable TV which allows wireless video transmission to the
PSP. The new firmware will be out in Japan on Wednesday. Crazily Sony aren't releasing the white PSP until September
15th. That's a full two weeks after the PSP launches in Europe! Why the wait for white?
