We started talking about the v3.0 PSP firmware update back in March. Now that the PS3 has come out, with it comes a whole host of new features and interopeability. Sony is set to release the v3.0 update in the US over next few days. The update includes:

Revisions to strengthen security PlayStation Network titles are now supported under [Game]. [Remote Play] has been added as a feature under [Network]. [Online Instruction Manuals] has been added as a feature under [RSS Channel]. A visual player has been added as a feature under [Music]. 3-speed fast forward and fast reverse has been added as a feature under [Photo]. [UMD Auto-Start] has been added as a feature in [System Settings] under [Settings].

I think that you should be rewarded for staying loyal to a gaming manufacturer (besides it making sense) and these streaming additions to connect the PSP and PS3 are more than welcome in my book, while others disagree. Over time I think hope that Sony will add even more functionality between the two devices.
