The long rumored firmware 3.0 for the PSP is planning to be released soon. Recently, images have been released of what this update may bring. Whether or not they're legit is the question. We can see from the pictures below that the possible new firmware will come with several applications like “ Sony Mail”, “SonyPaint”, “Alarmclock”, “Sony Organiser” and “Writepad”. A music store function is integrated into the “WWW” menu. Under the “Game” menu, a “PS3” hard disk menu item was added (we can see that a USB Cable was connected at the time… Guessing, does the PSP need to communicate with the PS3 via USB interface? Maybe there will be a “PS3” icon under the “Video”, “Music” and “Photo” menu too?). The “Memory Stick” icon under the “Game” menu was replaced with a strange icon at the bottom. Could it be the same old “Memory Stick” icon, or is it something new? Maybe Sony has finally decided to exterminate the way to run things from Memory Stick? Also, the thing still missing is the GPS support. Maybe Sony hasn’t been able to make up its mind to add it to the PSP?
