I have also read the news about sony psp that :-
The update and related details have yet to appear on Sony’s website, which still lists version 3.52 as the latest one, but the new firmware can be obtained via the network update feature on the PSP. According to PSP Fanboy, the new additions of 3.70 include:

* You can now set custom themes in [Theme Settings] under [Settings].
* Support has been added for assigning buttons in [Remote Play].
* A scene search feature has been added under [Video].
* Sequential playback is now supported under [Video].
* Simultaneous playback of content under [Music] and [Photo] is now supported.

The update will work with both the original PSP hardware and the newer PSP-2000, though options that take advantage of the new model – such as UMD cache and USB charge – are disabled for the original unit.

Have to say Joe that your wrong too. There was only a Linux SDK released for the PS2 and there isn’t a PSP SDK around except for someone i know that has been lucky enough to long term borrow the official PSP SDK. FYI if you want the PSP SDK then you’ll have to buy it from sony for $125,000 but you might not be accepted (they review you and decide if your worthy of having it) or my m8 is actually thinking of selling copies of the SDK for about $40,000.

Cam,

Actually, Sony released an SDK for their PSP that was based on Linux. I believe the SDK was actually a live Linux CD of sorts for the PSP, but I could be wrong. Either way, Sony has a track record (though spotty) of doing such things.

Years ago when I was working at CollabNet, we had a client called Indrema that was trying to build a Linux-based gaming console that used an open source software development model. THe concept was brilliant but they ran out of money too fast and went out of business.

I would love to see one of the big game console makers embrace open source.
