New firmware update allows remote play of PSP files

Some time back, the Sony Playstation 3 had a firmware update 1.8 that gave it a number of HD capabilities. And now it is the turn of the Sony PSP to get a firmware update that allows remote play of the Playstation files. The 3.50 update for PSP gives the ability to browse through wireless hotspots, the main point being that you can use this ability to browse content remotely. Refer this update from Sony:

* Network
o You can now connect a PSP® system to a PS3™ system via the Internet using [Remote Play].
o [Communication Settings] has been added as an option to the [Remote Play] menu.
o [RSS Channel Guide] has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel].

This is a slightly different feature from other feature upgrades that one normally sees. How does this work ? Say you are obligated to go to a social gathering, but over there, you are left alone. With the new workflow, you can connect from the PSP to the PS3 at home (as long as you can connect to the internet), and from the PS3, you can connect to the Home PC and view files (movie files) from there. Cool, and most people will not even know what you are doing.
