Besides patching support, no word, yet, on any other new features. From the Nintendo Direct video, there will be plenty of room for items in the folders, and you can name them.

New 3DS firmware coming April 25 in the U.S. will bring folders to the main menu screen and retail game patching. Possibly more, but don't count on it.
Folders:
- Can hold 60 items.
- Will use a number, by default, but can be changed.
- In Japanese, a named folder will be identified by the first character of the full name. In English, it'll be the first letter of the full name. The full name will display on the top screen, though.
- They're blue and have their own rotating 3-D icon. (JPN Video - EU Video)
Patches:
- Patching retail software will be added.
- Mario Kart 7 patch comes in mid-May. Fixes glitches that allow unintended shortcuts in the races (e.g. Maka Wuhu).
- For Japan, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and New Love Plus will be patched at some point in the future, too.

AndriaSang said:A 3DS firmware update is coming soon.
This will add folder functionality to the home menu. You can store up to 60 items in a single folder. You can also give names to each folder. The first character of the name is shown in the folder's icon.
The firmware will also add support for software version up/patches. Nintendo's first patch will be Mario Kart 7. The patch will fix some shortcut issues with the game. Iwata apologies for causing players inconvenience.
