The official PlayStation Japan website has announced that the beta launch has been delayed to some time in early November instead. Effectively, that means the first week of November, or if you want to stretch it, maybe even the second week.
The PSP-to-PS3 network service is currently supported only by Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, and will eventually be introduced to Phantasy Star Portable. If you're still in the dark on how this service runs, here's a quick video presentation from the PlayStation site explaining how the Ad-Hoc Party runs:

Maybe I can see this being popular with kids still living at home, whose parents are ok with the idea of essentially running the family room PS3 in 'idle' mode while they watch TV, and the kids play remotely on PSP with friends.
But, outside of someone like Xis and a very special situation, I can't see much where anyone over the age of 20 is going to salivate over the feature. I have long been right with Sony on the new features they bring, thinking them correct on their prioritization of development resources. .....Which is why this one is a mystery to me.

Games like monster hunter require alot of time and effort, even if theres four of you. imagine you got an hour or so free before you go to work or what have you, and you want to finish a quest with a freind. you probably dont have the time to go meet up with him and play. so you can just switch this on and away you go.
of course this would never beat the fun of being with them in person, but its just an alternative if you live far away from a freind or what have you.
this may also be easier for devs to add support to this over coding infrastructure for psp games, but then that would defeat the purpose of taken ur psp to some random wifi spot and playing online...
