I'm shocked that they are still considering it and I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't already have it in development. I would just expect it to be sooner than later. I really like the Video Unlimited app and if they can morph that with the Vita Live Area, that would be awesome.

Remember PS3 Firmware update 3.21 March 2010 that removed other OS support but gave us DTCP-IP which provides copy protection for In the Home Network Media Servers only. It's more than a year later and we haven't used that feature yet but Sony put it on the PS3 for a reason. There are two potential uses, copy protecting the media served from the PS3 to the Vita and Media from a Home DVR or Allvid cable box. Point is Sony provided that feature 1 year and 9 months before it's going to be used.I didn't want this to become the make fun of jeff thread :\
I feel uncomfortable now
I wish everything jeff is saying it true just so that everyone has to eat their own words... that would be great
Here is another proposed use that Time Warner Cable and Samsung implementing multi-room DVR are implementing now. Sony has plans to do this also. It's a Web-based UI but requires DTCP-IP copy protection and DLNA.
Point is the software is in the PS3 to support features that haven't been implemented yet and in some cases years in advance. Anyone can examine the features in firmware updates and research what they mean on the internet. With that easy research you can speculate on what's coming but not when.
holy shit no, anybody but them

Hopefully it looks like the video unlimited app.
Not that it changes your point here, but DTCP-IP was added in 3.0.

Not that it changes anything <grin> but DTCP-IP came with Firmware 3.21. This is really interesting; if you look at the date of your cited article it's 10 days before 3.0 with inside information on what's coming with 3.0 & the new PS3 Slim but DTCP-IP didn't come until 3.21 so this guy was getting information on multiple new features ?6? months in advance of the actual release. I wonder who's head rolled with that leak.
So 2 years and 3 months before DTCP-IP is going to be used Sony had a use planned for it.
3.21 had several DRM upgrades and we lost Other OS. Speculation put the two together and assumptions were Other OS was removed from the older PS3s (New Slims were announced as not having Other OS Support and they came with Firmware 3.0) because it created DRM issues.

Thank's for the defense...the next couple of months is going to see many new features implemented, as we've expected.
Home already has Sony Crackle (Select Sony movies free) and is soon to get 60 Internet Radio stations. Of course you used to have to buy Loot Properties to view Crackle and a few other "Free" video IPTV sites. Point is Home is client based and the tools to access and display the IPTV and Radio stations are native in the PS3. Why aren't they available from the XMB....because Sony makes money from "Home". Most of the support for a PS3 GTKwebkit is done and in the PS3. The Chrome changes in the already published GTKWebkit diff file would indicate that the front end is done also.
I'll spell this out for others because androvsky already knows this; Firmware 3.0 was released in 2009 with frameworks in place to support the coming GTKwebkit browser. That's two years before October of this year when I suspected Sony would release or announce the browser.
There have been no new applications released using the frameworks already in place since 2009 and Valkyr Junkie, androvsky, Patsu and myself discussed this as "Sony has been sending out surveys that they still have plenty of plans for upgrades to the various XMB apps" and Sony had a job listing for a Software engineer to develop PS3 Apps using the existing frameworks and webkit. Why have't those been released or at least released as they are completed as more than one is coming?
Big questions with no easy answers but we are starting to see that plans were in place 2 years in advance (2009) to support what we are soon to get. (One might note that Music unlimited in it's present form is not possible in Home so RadioIO can be implemented in Home but not from the XMB where it's a competitor).
