2.53 Firmware Update

We more than likely will be getting an update on or before 11/26. This will add even more Flash support and if I'm not mistaken, we shouldn’t have any restrictions from now on. The last update increased support and this SHOULD finish it off.

New for 2.53: The Internet browser now supports full-screen mode for Adobe® Flash® Player content.*
Support for Adobe® Flash® Player 9 has been added to [Internet Browser].*

Here's the full list of new stuff:

My bad, this is the 2.52 and 2.53 info mixed together. As I said before this update is mostly Flash based.

The update is live although it's running a bit behind schedule, sloppy ass Sony This update adds Full-screen mode playability and Live movie (using RTMP format) playability. This is great because sites like Hulu, NBC.com and Vimeo and such, offer free video streaming. So now you can enjoy your favorite shows on your TV rather than your PC. It also means crisper full screen YouTube as well.

This is all in preperation for Home's full debut, which will have videostreaming all about.

So tell me Almighty....I saw on your comment last night, you were enjoying the new update.

Excatly how? What were you doing surfing, and viewing things online? A la Porn?

I still haven't noticed that much of a difference.

Naw me and your wifey just tape what we do with the Eye or my BlackBerry. You ever noticed that most sites didnt fully show up before or at all because the browser didnt have full Flash support. Now it does and you can watch sites better than ever before, like some of the ones I listed.

For instance you couldnt even go to Nike's site before because the whole shit has Flash all over the place and you cant navigate it. I surf the net on my PS3 rather than my laptop most of the time.
