annunciato upgrade del firmware che giunge così alla versione 2.0

fonte: http://psp.ign.com

July 21, 2005 - The first few updates of the PSP's core OS software have been disappointing (and utterly undesirable in the face of all of the cool yet not-always-legal homebrew applications), but Sony is finally delivering some of the cool features many of us have been waiting for. And it'll be here real, real soon.

At the PlayStation Meeting 2005 in Japan this morning, SCE announced the Version 2.0 update for PSP. This is a free update for the handheld's operating system -- the opening menu and all of that clickity-clackity stuff -- that owners will be able to bump their PSPs up to by downloading an updater from the net or from their computer, or else by playing a game disc with v2.0 on it (and, as you may have noticed, many if not all future games will require more recent updates.)

What does the new system get you? The biggest feature is that the OS now has an integrated feature for an installable wireless net browser built into it, so that PSP owners can hit up hotspots and check the web on their portable systems. The new OS will also have new file support structures, and apparently has fixed the hobbled video function of the PSP to support true AVC video playback (...and not a moment too soon, for those who have put up with the yucky Memory Stick-derived current movie playback feature) Also added in the update is the ability to trade pictures on your PSP wirelessly (ad-hoc only, unfortunately -- there's no image sharing online service just yet.)

SCE has outlined the major components of the 2.0 update, so it is unknown if any of the other features from the leaked test update (an internal demo update that slipped out to the public but never worked and disabled PSPs for those not savvy enough to know what they were doing and what not to touch) would be in this new version. That test update had roughed-in listings for a browser (that's one so far), a text reader/word processor/spreadsheet tool, mail program, a calculator, and other features. The only feature that SCE has confirmed so far is the browser -- it seems to be that we'll have to wait for that calculator.

Our Japanese correspondents are still reporting back from the event, so we hope to have further details as soon as more is available. The 2.00 update will be available on July 27th in Japan -- the surprise update will hit in just a week's time. SCEA has not made an announcement as to when the 2.00 update will be in America, but we expect our updates will be available shortly after the Japanese release, if not day-and-date.

Licenza vari SKD e tool per fisica/simulazioni

Tokyo, July 21, 2005 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) announced today that it
had entered into a strategic licensing agreement with AGEIA Technologies™, Inc. (AGEIA), a
physics tool and hardware developer based in California, U.S.A, effective July 20, 2005.
Through this agreement, SCEI obtains sublicensing rights of the AGEIA PhysX™ SDK (also
known as NovodeX™), a physics library developed by AGEIA.
The AGEIA PhysX SDK is the leading next-generation solution for creating
compelling in-game physics and has been widely adopted by various game engines, such as the
Unreal Engine 3 by Epic Games. Its multi-threaded capability makes the AGEIA PhysX SDK
ideally equipped to leverage the power of the Cell processor. The licensing agreement allows
for SCEI and AGEIA to optimize the AGEIA PhysX SDK for utilization in
PLAYSTATION®3, and will be included in the Software Development Kit for
PLAYSTATION 3. Frontline support will be provided by SCEI.
"A licensing agreement with AGEIA is a strategic move for us" said Masa Chatani,
corporate executive and CTO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "With AGEIA PhysX SDK
provided as part of Software Development Kit for PS3, we believe that numbers of content
with entirely new forms of physics expressions optimizing the power of the Cell processor will
be developed."

"This agreement between SCEI and AGEIA marks a significant landmark in the
development of advanced physics-enabled games," said Manju Hegde, founder and CEO of
AGEIA Technologies, Inc. "The capabilities of the AGEIA PhysX SDK combined with the
power of the Cell architecture will give developers the tools necessary to introduce dynamic

developed by Epic Games.
Unreal Engine 3 framework includes a programmable shaders tool, physics engine,
and GUI based physics attribution tool, along with various other tools, such as scenario
development, movie scene development, animation and particle animation tools. The most
significant among these engines and tools are the programmable shaders. By effectively using
this technology, content creators will be able to reproduce photo-realistic images without going
through a complicated calculation process. A wealth of tools contained in the Unreal Engine 3
framework will enable developers to create content to a certain level without requiring
specialist programming skills. An evaluation version of the Unreal Engine 3 will now become
available for the PLAYSTATION®3 developer community together with the Software
Development Kit for PLAYSTATION 3. Frontline support will be provided by SCEI.
