Dummy updater reveals next gen of Sony PSP functions - PSP-Forum.com

Seems that a test-use file looking very much like a firmware updater for the PSP has made its way out onto the Web from the domain playstation.org (which Sony owns). While we wouldn’t advise using it to update your PSP, as it contains dummy data that will overwrite your firmware into unusable gibberish, the file’s list of contents details the following added functions: a text-speaking app, support for downloading SonicStage-compatible music and news, voice chat software, three game titles, and mail, word processing, web browsing and schedule apps (plus a couple of bug fixes). While this could all be a developer’s pipe dream or a total fake, we can but hope.

theres currentyly no real firmware update. so w.e you do DO NOT update your PSP unless its been confirmed. the firmware right now. just make your psp have a black screen and never again will it work.
