While discussing the new firmware 2.5 update for the PlayStation 3 console, Sony
shared that the built-in browser of the PS3 console is now faster than Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 browser - though still not as fast as Google's Chrome.
Discussing the new 2.5 firmware update with IGN, Sony claimed that the system is now faster than Internet Explorer 7 - though still not as fast as Google's new kid, Chrome.
The new browser update apparently also improves Javascript support, more than doubling the speed that Javascript can run at on the PlayStation 3.
The bad news though is that the PSP platform probably won't be benefiting from these advances in the future as Sony isn't sure that the PSP's limited resources will be able to run Flash 9 at all - apparently it was a stretch even getting the full screen keyboard to work.
