This was sneaky. Both the QJ and Exophase forums have discovered that Network Update's been picking up a FW 3.30 (yes, that's 3.30) firmware update in the airwaves. Exophase even has a downloadable EBOOT of it. It's not up on PlayStation.com as we write this, though...

(Yes, we know the pic to the right says 2.71. It was either that or the internationally recognized symbol for recycling.)

Which is why there's no full changelog to bring for now. Wait for the update to this when PS.com decides to play catchup, or when one of us bravely decides to sacrifice his or her personal PSP to the all-consuming maw of FW 3.30 to see what's changed (or at least far enough to see the changelog). Or we'll just update this article after the results of that ultimate sacrifice (until they come out with a downgrader...) reveals the changelog.

Otherwise, here's what's known to be the changes in 3.30, so far, via both sources (and we also don't know why they'd skip 3.2x...):

display thumbnails under RSS Channel
expanded support for PlayStation Network-downloaded PSOne games (but what specific support?)
support for displaying thumbnails for files in VIDEO folder (more reason to use a file stealthing device now, ain't it?)
option to set Disc-Load speed to Fast or Normal
Downloadable below conveniently comes in a folder named "UPDATE", thus saving you the hassle of having to create that folder on the PSP Memory Stick/PSP/GAME subdirectory
