Good or bad news for PSP owners, depending where your priorities
lie. Sony have released the latest firmware
update for the PSP, version 2.60—although this latest release comes without much
fanfare, it does include several useful features such as
RSS support, Chinese language encodings in the Web browser, and WMA playback. Video with copyright protection can also
now be downloaded.
While none of these features are particularly outstanding, this latest update adds another set of obstacles to those
trying to get homebrew software working on the PSP. Currently successful attempts have been made with version 1.5 and
2.00 (which is downgradable), and the frequent firmware
updates mean that hackers have to keep running to catch up.
