Default PlayStation 3: Firmware 1.6 update details

Sony has just provided more details regarding the PlayStation 3's upcoming Firmware 1.6 update. First up is a minor adjustment for the update's release date. Previously set for a March 23 release - the same day as the PS3 launch in Europe - 1.6 will be available as downloadable content come March 22.

Moving on to FW 1.6's updates, it has been reported that it will allow the PS3 to do other functions while you're downloading content - expect far less game session interruptions in the near future. Sony's also adding an option for a full-size keyboard on the system menu, which should make text input easier for those uncomfortable with the PS3's default cellphone-style interface.

Firmware 1.6 will also carry updates for the PS3's web browser, which includes a capability to detect the user's video-out settings and to set standard font sizes accordingly. Also new is a point-and-zoom feature for examining web pages in-depth. There's also the matter of the added support for Folding@home - Stanford University's ongoing project to use part of the PS3's massive cell processing power to study protein folding to help further research into diseases like Alzheimer s Disease, Parkinson s Disease, and Huntington's Disease.

Lastly, we reiterate on 1.6's update to the Remote Play function on the PlayStation Portable. In earlier firmware versions of Sony's PS3, PSP owners could only hook up wirelessly to the 60GB model so long as they were within its sensor range. In the upcoming 1.6 update, PSP owners can opt to use WiFi hotspots to connect with their PS3, which not only allows for greater mobility, but also allows 20GB owners to partake in the fun. Set your calendars for March 22.
Another update . Here's the info if you need it .
