PS Vita firmware update adds button controls, iTunes playlists and more

Merchant Website: engadget.com

If you're a Vita owner, then this week must feel like running through rain of joy, as new features and functionality keep coming. Well, why not splash in a puddle or two along the way, as we learn what treats the next firmware update for the handheld -- version 1.80 -- will bring. First up is the ability to use the console's buttons on the home screen and within some applications -- yeah really! In addition to that mind-bomb, you'll also be able to fast-forward and rewind video, import playlists from the PS3 and iTunes (10.6.3 or later) as well as use the rear touchpad for scrolling and zooming in the browser. There's a bunch of other minor tweaks, too, just skip down to the source for the breakdown or wait until "late August" for the download.Filed under: GamingPS Vita firmware update adds button controls, iTunes playlists and more originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 15 Aug 2012 06:25:00 EDT.
