Sony PSP 2.0 Firmware is Out

You should download this quick, so you can browse the web on your Sony PSP. BTW, it will kill the ability to run homebrew software and emulators off your memory stick. Egads.

The version 2.0 firmware is available for download now by users of North American PSPs, and patches a number of security holes as well as adding web browsing functions, wireless picture sharing, desktop backgrounds and new supported media formats. Crucially, the update closes the loophole in earlier versions of the software which allowed users to copy pirated games to memory sticks and play them from there, as well as playing emulators and other homebrew applications.
