Funny this was brought from the dead. It was confirmed that this was a prank and there isn't an update coming to the Internet Channel, at least not officially.

Sad. I really was hoping for it!

I'm not surprised (though still disappointed) to see that this update isn't real. I don't think the Internet Channel could handle some of those supposed features, such as the tab browser, as even as it is now, it runs slower than my 10-year-old computer. Ouch.

Use the PS3 browser, you'll see what is slow

Really? But I thought the PS3 was some all-powerful being machine? The PS3 was bested by a 10-year-old PC! Wait until this little doosie gets out, then maybe its sales will finally taper off!

I guess the Cell processor isn't the super computer we were promised it would be, huh?

Or supercomputing just doesn't work for internet browsing...

Actually Sony made the browser themselves so that is why it is so clunky.  Plus, not much feedback about how bad it is makes them not need to update it.  One thing it does have is Flash 9 which makes Hulu work on it, something the Wii does not have.  That is the only reason I use it though.
I don't use PlayOn because I don't have a fast enough PC and it's a wireless connection. I'm working on fixing both of those things though.
I still wish 2.0 happened though.  It was some nice features.

Wii probably can't handle Hulu anyway, at least not in it's current form.

There is always a very real possibility Nintendo will update the browser in the future at some point. However, if they do it would probably be as a patch and not as a 2.0. Flash 9 and PDF support are two things they could and should add via a patch.
