PSP Firmware Update to Get Google Search
Techtree News Staff, Jun 17, 2008 1240 hrs ISTGoogle search will be accessible from the PSP XMB (XrossMediaBar) Network via a new 'Internet Search' option.
Sony PlayStation Portable's upcoming firmware 4.00 update will include a Google Search feature. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Eric Lempel, director (Operations) of PlayStation Network, said the upcoming firmware upgrade will enable Google Internet search with a recall of 20 search items. Adding Google search to the PSP clearly shows Google's eagerness to bring its apps and services onto the handheld (also gaming) platform.
Google search will be accessible from the PSP XMB (XrossMediaBar) Network via a new 'Internet Search' option. Then on to Google anything, PSP users would have to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi hot-spot or wireless access point.
The firmware update will also offer another feature that adds the ability to alter viewing speeds by pressing directional buttons up or down while playing video.
There's no specific date as to when the firmware update will be made available except that Lempel says in his post it will be very soon.
