and to answer your 2nd question-Not that I know of (at this point!) if you have a 1.51 or 1.52 version of psp your best bet would be to upgrade to 2.0 because most hackers will concentrate more on 2.0 rather than 1.51 and 1.52! plus even if they dont at least you'll get some cool stuff!

I don't see anything new in what we already have, homebrew wise.

Seeing as this came from g4, i would put some belief in it, they usually are on top of things. i hope it is true though

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of maybe having a Macromedia Flash plug-inin the Video mode so you could watch your favorite saved Flashes on-the-go. Crap. So I'll be able to download this update wirelessly to my PSP tomorrow through Network Update, or just through this site?

Homebrew on 2.0? God, I want to thank you and Sony. My dreams have finally come true. Tomorrow, the PSP will become the most versatile portable system on the market. Now all it needs is a USB digital camera...hmmm...hey, that would be cool! plug it in, choose USB Connection, take a picture, and the photo is written to the Mem Stick. Anyway, I'll finally get full use out of my very expensive **cringes** 512MB mem stick! Sonic 3D Blast on-the-go, here I come!

Good luck with that, Flash isn't open source, and there are NO open-source renderers. Only way it could work if Macromedia was out of there good heart to develop a plugin for Sony. They would only do that if there was a big demand for it.

digital camera solution!!!

'ingredients':
1 PSP (or other portable, but won't be able to view the pics)
1 digital camera that uses memory stick duo
2 rubber bands OR 1 double-face roll(the foam one)

assemble:
put the digital camera in the back of the PSP
put one rubber band at each side of the camera, attention for the PSP screen and buttons (or some cuts of double-face)

how it works:
insert the MSDUO in the camera
take your pictures
remove the MSDUO
put it in the PSP
view the pictures!

*NO FUNTIONABILITY GUARANTEE!*
