PSP 3.0 Hype

You gotta love the hype surrounding the supposed PSP 3.0 firmware. The thing is, everyone thinks the next update will be 3.0 and it will be revolutionary with all kinds of miracle-achieving capabilites. All this, and Sony has hardly hinted of a new firmware release. They announced a GPS system, so that will require a firmware update for the software for that (probably), but even then it could operate all via UMD.

The PSP has limited resources and capabilites. While it will be great to see some of these things rumored around the internet, some of it is just not possible. I doubt we'll be able to get Java or Flash support simply because of the RAM it consumes that the PSP doesn't have, and it can present many security risks.

Chances are, the next update will be 2.7, and merely be a security update. Or, better yet, that's what 3.0 will be.
