PSP firmware 6.10 brings Bluetooth internet tethering to the PSP Go

The PSP Go isn't even out yet and Sony's already dishing out the feature updates -- PSP firmware 6.10, announced today, allows the slider handheld to tether to your cellphone over Bluetooth for remote internet access. That's actually a pretty handy feature for a system that relies on network game distribution, don't you think? That's not all, however: all PSPs will get a new XMB feature called SensMe which can generate playlists based on "moods," and the PC-based MediaGo software is being updated as well. Not a bad haul -- we'll let you know when it goes live. SensMe video after the break.

This is very cool and all, but I can already tether PSP, DS, etc. through WiFi tether for the G1.

ive been tryna do that with my touch pro 2 but it keeps giving me errors... maybe android just does it different... i got a dev phone so maybe i should try that right now

There's just something about that small, sliding PSP that makes it desirable.

I have a hacked launch PSP-1000 and I couldn't be happier... or could I? Sometimes I think I just want things to hack them, even if I have the older, more tested models.

I think I recall Engadget's hands-on (or another tech blog) saying it felt kinda cramped and the build quality was iffy. Mehhh..

Oh right, back to Scribblenauts.

Well i been debating forever on whether or not to get a psp go since i have the psp 3000 and I have quite a few games and movies for it too. But I have decided to get a psp go and keep the psp 3000. I do like playing my psp on my tv and to be able to use a ps3 controller via bluetooth is awesome. Plus all the little things they have been revealing about the psp go has really gotten me excited about it.

Apple should have this feature with the iPod Touch.

Very nice interface. is it avaliable for older models too? Sony Please bring it to the PS3, it's on of the best sounding All in one media centers but it just suck when you have to navigate thru music...

anyone figured out how to use this yet?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 1st 2009 8:14PM]

Yes... burn batteries of 2 devices tethered over bluetooth so I can surf the internet on a sh*t browser with no keyboard, and no touchscreen.

I'll stick to my smart phone. Hell, even "dumb" phones mostly have keyboards and keypads for typing.

Sony's head >*crammed*> Sony's ass.

Also, no 3G network (at least in the US) has bandwidth fast enough to make downloading games this way practical.

I think we need to wait until the product is launched.
Sony is a very reliable brand and we do not know if this new gadget will beat the I pod!
I've been searching for documents about this topic and I found this site: Yellow documents, they've a lot of document types from different subjects.
