A test PSP update file has shown up on the internet that includes web browsing, word processing, voice communication and music downloading software among its contents.
Apparently originating from a web domain owned by Sony itself, the file is not an official or final release. In fact, if you use it on your PSP at the moment it will corrupt your system, although the brave fellas over at Japanese website memopad.jp have photos and video footage of the installer running.
Rather than a final release, it seems that the file is a test-run for future software to be distributed by Sony to update the PSP's firmware, the programs embedded within the system that make it work. Electronic and computing companies use these files to fix bugs and keep their products up to date.
But most excitingly, the full contents of the update include web browsing software, e-mail, word processing, voice communication, scheduling, a text-to-speech application, a program that'd let you download and organise music with Sony's own SonicStage software, and three mysterious titles which could be new online games.
