According to [Only registered users can see links. ], Director of [Only registered users can see links. ] Operations, the main feature of the update is actually AVC High Profile (H.264/MPEG-4) playback support, but that only seems to be a preliminary reporting of the details.

Lempel also mentions increased PS2 software compatibility, so you can probably expect a follow-up article from the PlayStation Blog once the firmware update is ready. Hopefully, the next update will also include an actual release date, so you guys know when to turn on your PS3s to receive FW 1.82.

Thanks to Geo for the tip!
