Sony have done it again and released a new firmware update, is this because of the rumours of the exploit in v2.50 or some great new feature

Heres what plungmonies posted in our Submit news forum:

Sony has released an update to the PSP’s firmware. The new version, v2.6, adds support for the WMA codec in Music, RSS feeds in the web browser — including podcasts, and downloads of video data that supports copyright protection (via the browser). Other small language tweaks were also made. The update is currently only available through the PSP’s Network Update option and requires 18MB of space — Sony’s official Software Update page does not yet reflect the new version.
