Sony has released PSP system update v6.10, noting that this is a big update in preparation for the launch of the PSPgo – which happens to be available today.
The update is compatible with all PSPs, although Sony states “new PSPgo owners should make sure to download the update to ensure full compatibility with MediaGo and with all PSP titles”.
Key features:
SensMe:
A new music application for PSP that uses Sony’s proprietary 12 Tone Analysis technology to evaluate music tracks that have been imported from Media Go application on your PC to your PSP. The application automatically categorises the tracks into 12 channels such as “Relax” or “Newly Added”.
Media Go:
PlayStation Store for the PSP and PSPgo via Media Go (v1.2) will be updated with a new look on Thursday, October 1. To access PlayStation Store, you need to download Media Go (or update Media Go if you already have it). Media Go is a free PC software application that allows you to easily organize and transfer music, photos and videos between your PC and PSP. It also allows you to access PlayStation Store and to purchase, backup and restore PSP games. For those who prefer to use a PC, you will see that downloading games, movies and TV shows for your PSP is easier than ever with the new PlayStation Store on Media Go. With this update, you’ll be able to export playlists onto the PSP.
Tethering (PSPgo only):
The ability to use a Bluetooth mobile device, such as a mobile phone, as a modem to connect your PSP system to the internet. This means that when you’re not located close to a WiFi spot you have another way to get on the internet via a bluetooth mobile device.
You’ll find further details, along with some videos of the new functionality over on the PlayStation Blog.
