The latest version update for the PlayStation Vita adds some more functionality to the device, such as adding a new Map app, taking photos with the photo app and more. Read all about it after the jump!
Via Andriasang:
PlayStation Vita owners can look forward to a major update on February 8. The system’s version 1.6 update will be available for download on that date and adds two major features.
Your Home screen will now have a Map app. Open this up, and you’ll be able to see your positional information on a map. The map can be viewed with satellite imagery turned on and off. You can also search for walking and driving directions and view details about your current location.
The system’s photo app will be updated with the ability to take videos. The app is currently limited to static photos.
As a smaller change, the Home button will now flash blue when you have the Vita hooked up to power.
Separate from the system’s firmware, Sony will release a MAC OS version of its Content Management Assistant for PlayStation program. Since the Vita’s launch, this has been available only for Windows. The program is required for transferring data between your Vita and computer.
This update will also reflect Sony’s previously announced naming change from “PlayStation Network Account” to “Sony Entertainment Network Account.” This is just a name change. There’s no difference in the service features.
A great gesture from Sony to release the MAC OS version of the Content Management Assistant. The US/EU version “should” have these features on release, will it?
