PSP Firmware 4.0 announced, Google search integrated in XMB
The Wrath | 1:32 PM on 06.16.2008 3 comments


Via Playstation.Blog

This new upgrade replicates the Google Internet search experience, delivering the same search results that you’d get at www.google.com. And with a search history recall of 20 items, Web searches couldn’t be easier.

After you download and install the firmware on your PSP, click on the XMB’s Network icon and then the new Internet Search icon. Enter your keywords and then let Google’s algorithms do the work. You’ll need to be connected to the Internet via a wireless access point or Wi-Fi hotspot. Googling something on the go has never been more convenient on your PSP.

Another new feature delivered through the 4.00 update is the ability to change viewing speed during playback of videos stored on your Memory Stick PRO Duo, so you can speed through or slow down what you’re watching. To do this simply press the up or down directional buttons while playing a video. Enjoy!

Google integration? Cool. I guess. The video playback speed is definately a welcomed addition. I'm a fan of all updates that add functionality, but I still can't get the anticipated PS3 firmware 2.4 out of my head. This is great and all, but it's kinda like getting blown by Ashlee Simpson. Nice, but it's no Jessica.

Plus Ashlee lip syncs. Not sure what effect that has on her "blowing" skills.

Anyway I suppose this is a nice touch. I'll wait for the custom firmware version.

:D
