PS3 v1.6 Firmware Details

Details on a Sony update are harder to figure out than your grandma’s type of crossword puzzles. Mainly because they provide little to no information on what exactly it is that you are downloading. Well gumshoe’s it seems you guys took the time to trace the clues yourselves and here’s what was found:

* Folding @Home: Now you can participate in the worldwide distributedcomputing protein folding experiments from Standford University, inhopes to further understand human genetics. You can access the Folding@Home application under Network on the XMB

* Internet BrowserPinpoint Zoom and Resolution Settings: You can now choose to zoom intoa portion of a website if you have a huge display and can’t readthings, or you can set the browser resolution to a different size soeverything can be viewed easier

* Full size on-screen keyboard: Makes it easier to type messages and web addresses with the controller

* Remote Plan via Wireless Access Point: People with a 20GB PS3 can nowutilize the Remote Play feature with a PSP by using any wireless accesspoint. (No official word if you will be able to use the PSP to accessyour PS3 at home from anywhere, maybe in a future update)

* Background Downloading from the PlayStation Store: This one is cool.It’ll make a big difference when downloading things on the PS3.

PS3 owners, keep those eyes peeled.
