Sony PSP ‘update’ adds office apps, browser, email

Neowin.net reports :

Sony may be preparing to release its first PlayStation Portable (PSP)
update, if a file that briefly appeared on the web this weekend is what
it purports to be: a leaked copy of an early version of the update
code. Whatever its provenance, the software certainly includes some
interesting features. In addition to the usual bug fixes, the update is
said to add not only a web browser and an email program, but a word
processor and a spreadsheet.

At this stage, the translations from the original Japanese exploration
of the alleged PSP update file doesn’t make it clear whether these are
fully functioning office apps - or simply readers put in place to
handled emailed attachments. Given the device’s nature, we suspect that
latter, but early talk of a PSP keyboard accessory has led some
observers to suggest they’re the real thing. The update also adds an
on-screen calculator utility, three games and an automatic software
update feature along the lines of the utilities found in desktop
operating systems.
