I like the little arrow to browse back up. Sorely needed. Especially since I spend most (if not all) my time on GAF Mobile.
Omg. I love that up arrow to top of page!!

No pre-firmware, sorry
Wait, which color is like the PS3 XMB?
The Crimson Kid
what are you waiting for
The new smaller friend pop ups are great! Button controls work great (as they should!) and the ability to send picture messages will come in handy.
Also the Near app seems to have gotten a good solid update too.
Good update all in all. Shame about SCEA pissing the bed on PS1 compatibility.

When an Application crashes, you get a prompt to report and send the data to Sony right away.

The smaller notifications are going to take time getting used to. It's like going from SD to HD on the PS3.

Being able to map the L and R buttons to the right stick for psp titles is a godsend. There's no reason not to pick up Daxter and Vice City Stories now.

Hmm, small but useful features for the browser. I hope we'll get flash support or at least button support in the future.

Flash for mobile is dead. Give Sony time to implement HTML5 instead.
Came to post this. Yeah, hopefully they can fix that Flickr crash quickly. Smells like a server bug to me (although the client shouldn't crash).
<3 !
Yeah, they mentioned it in Gamescom.
Here is the full change list, but in Japanese

Right now when I turned on my vita it told me I had less then 40mb left on my memory card, never told me that before
That list is incomplete too. ^_^
I think the web browser also received some rendering bug fixes. Looks more robust now when I scroll the page.

DEFINITELY.
This is the best thing about the update. No more of that 'please wait' bullshit.
Treasures of Montezuma trophies now sync.

Based Sony. Now I just need Wake Up Club for all my achievement whoring needs right now. >_>

I noticed the PS1 games on the Vita handle saves the same way PS2 Classics on PSN do; they automatically make a pair of memory cards for each title. It's a good way of handling saves, better than the PS3 where you couldn't make virtual cards after starting a game, but somehow it just adds to the feeling we're getting trolled with regards to PS2 BC on the PS3.

Ask Grace Chen.
Right now, my friend.

OS is very close to being perfect now. Can't stress enough how much better psn is on vita now that it's seamless without interruptions.
Yes they do.
how do the touch controls work with psp games?
you can set a button to each of the corners.
Stealth Update
System icons are now a gray color instead of white.
That's awesome.
Has anyone posted about this:
The "Create Message" button is a lot easier to get to now. I updated the "Common Sense" thread after checking this thread out a bit, btw.

Dammit, for a second I thought Counter-Strike made it's way onto the Vita. Valve should have seriously got it ported.
The livearea thing looks different?
See if they notify you if someone makes a comment yet lol

1.8 is looking more and more like what 2.4 was for the PS3.

Rear scrolling is pretty amazing. All it needs is button and HTML5/flash support and this could quite possibly be a superior mobile browsing experience to my phone and tablet.
I commented on one of his things.
Okay this is seriously awesome. I can comment and 'like' any of my friends achievements. I could ask how they got the achievement, or challenge them etc. So good.The livearea thing looks different?
edit: PSP Mini games used to always have the yellow update button present, even if there wasn't an update. This is no longer the case.
That's actually something you could do on day one, chief. We're hoping that there's push-notifications now so people actually know that they got commented.

You already could do that but your comment was not reported to the friend you "Liked"
Let's see if now they added this report
Edit - They did it! Finally Near is the Social Network for Vita Users
Let's try to see if the same works for the comments on the live areas of the single games!
