PSP Firmware 4.00 coming soon: includes Google Search, change video playback speed |
Ó

We don't have a specific date for it yet, but according to Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations, the PSP's official firmware 4.00 update "will be released soon." How soon? We can only hope.
What can we expect from FW 4.00? According to Lempel, the upgrade will have a new Google Internet Search feature, accessible straight from the XMB. It uses Google's algorithms so it will return the exact same results as www.google.com.
The feature returns a search history recall of 20 items. Of course, you'll need to be connected to the Internet via a wireless access point or Wi-Fi hotspot before you can actually Google something.
Another feature inlcuded in Firmware 4.00 is the ability to speed up or slow down the playback speed of videos stored on the unit's Memory Stick. All you need to do for this is to press up or down while playing the video.

2. Ok... speed up videos. Get CFW. Get PSPTube. I know that it doesn't really do it well but, it works!
3. Version 2.00 was BOMB! Version 3.00 was HOT! Version 4.00 is B0rInG!
4. Another useless CFW. ( Not alot of new features like 3.90 M33 to 3.95 GEN )
*prove me wrong if I'm wrong!*

Usually the X.0s should be bigger updates....
Oh well. =\

I'll probably never update my PSP again with this crap.

At least wait till the firmware comes out, you've tried it for yourself and Dark-AleX tells us if/what he'll will do about it. THEN you can start arguing...

what Sony should be adding is a 'tempo' adjuster for music playback. replace google searches to youtube searches. i know we have psptube, but having an official one would promise lesser bugs. C'mon Sony!! >_>

It would be a good Idea to make some kind of youtube program I bet many people would buy a psp just to watch youtube. I know this one on CFW but i'm pretty sure sony would make a better one. DivX would be awsome I hate converting.

For such a landmark firmware version, they seem to be running out of ideas. How about better file support? AVI, MPG etc., proper Youtube support without homebrew? GPS/route planning? Come on Sony, if regular people can come up with such great homebrew, surely you must be able to improve on them?

How is Google search going to make people want to buy a PSP? We can just go to google.com anytime we want on our PSPs to search for someone.
Also, not that it matters, but I think Yahoo! is much better than Google. I actually hate Google.
There's most likely something much than this coming up, and I'm sure Sony wants it to be a surprise for now. Whatever it is though, I doubt it'll convince people to upgrade.

Also, it is possible to have different groups work on different things. Just be glad you are getting FW updates for free...Sony isn't charging, so why whine.
And seriously, people who complain about free things are disheartening. If you think that something better can be done, do it yourself!
