The power saving stuff should be handy.

Yes, the latest until v5 is released ;)

[Hom3r]

Thats a big leap.

Must be a major change.

Main thing I think for the PSP is the PSN icon on the XMB, including full PSN Store access.


For the PS3...

An update: Flash 9 officially confirmed! :D

Bah, iPlayer still doesn't work though - even though the browser now has Flash 9. Now just get a "You need Javascript" message...


Aha, but ixalon at DS has upgraded ps3iplayer.com now we have Flash 9 at last :)

Still not as good as if the iPlayer site itself recognised the PS3 browser, but better than before.

you can no longer sign-out from your name in the friends list. You have to do it from the account part which is slightly annoying. ( only because I was used to doing it the other way)

Also the BBC are working on a version of Iplayer for the PS3 anyway so that should be good :)

Edit**

Another thing thats annoying me a bit is that now when watching video and you press the PS button to load the XMB the video pauses. Now I know this is not really a problem but I liked the video playing it the backround if I was just checking something quickly :(
