Just earlier it was said that the 2.70 Firmware Update was coming out in Japan for the PSP. Well now it has been released in the USA as well.

None of the exciting new next-gen type features (GPS, Eyetoy, etc.) are on this firmware release, but there is one major thing that people have been crying out for, support for Flash 6 Content in the Web Browser!

Many of the Homebrew people will probably say this is just another attempt to stop homebrew on the PSP, but for those of us with 2.6 PSPs already, or those who do not care about homebrew as much, a flash player in the web browser should be a great addition!

You can download the update from Playstation USA.

Here are the full details of the update from Playstation USA:

Macromedia® Flash® content can now be displayed in [Internet Browser].     You must perform an activation procedure under [System Settings] to enable Flash® content to be displayed.     The system supports Macromedia® Flash® Player 6; however, some features are not supported.   [Connection Settings] has been added as a setting under [Settings] in [Internet Browser] > [Tools].   Audio content from [RSS Channel] can now be saved on Memory Stick Duo™ media.   [Automatic] has been added as an option under [Rate] in the control panel of [LocationFree™ Player].
