Sony pushed out PSP firmware 6.38 just a bit ago and guess what! You can still run signed homebrew! Of course, no one know if using the downgrader will work from this new firmware or if the recently-released custom firmwares will install from this firmware, so take caution! All Sony says that they released in this update was a “Security patch to add stability.”
Of course, that’s code for, “We’re trying to combat homebrew!”
To download and install this firmware on your PSP, you just need to go to Network Update on your PSP’s XMB and install it from there.

Alright, the PS3 is quickly catching up to the sales of the 360 and PS3 is coming out with way more exclusives this year… Who do you think will do best over all this year and how important do you think that this year’s console sales will effect the total lifespan of this console generation?
What are your predictions? Head on over to the Brewology forums and discuss what you think!!

A while back, iOS came out for 4.3.1 and many people updated their phones to no find that they locked their devices again to no longer use homebrew. redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 is now out and allows you to unlock your iOS devices, with the unfortunate exclusion of the iPad 2. :(
Also, there is a warning that ultrasn0w users must not update their devices yet!

The latest iPod Nano leak from China shows that the next small touch-screen device from Apple will also include a camera? Cool, perhaps, if someone can find a good use for it. Of course, with all leaks, we are still unsure if this is true or not and there will be no way to know until the device is officially announced and shown off by Apple. However, the people ‘leaking’ these photos are the people who showed off the first iPod Nano with a touch-screen, so it is very plausible that this is real. And knowing Apple, they always ‘are limited by hardware designs’ to include a camera in the first iteration of any of their devices. (A la iPad or any other Apple product.)

Oh, wow! This is no April Fool’s Day joke! Just hours ago, a user of Microsoft’s developers forum by the name of Kit3Katz has found and released information on a folder on Microsoft’s XBox website’s server! All that was in the directory an few corrupted images, two green banner images, and this image!
I just checked 20 minutes ago, and the fie was still on their servers and able to be accessed at this link:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Shell/Apr/images/PRN/001.PNG

Unfortunately, the directory has been removed and all that remains are a few back ups! But here is the new XBox 720!! No files in that directory contained any information on specs, but it is widely believed that it will be announced and released alongside Windows 8 as it contains many cross-platform system structures.
Looking at the games depicted, there is definitely Gears of War, but the other three games are yet to be identified. Also, notice that no disc tray is visible! Perhaps Microsoft is going to go the way of the PSP Go!? Or will it take on the challenge presented by its new slogan of, “Become a legend” ??

neur0n has released updates for both of his custom firmwares! Both 6.37 ME v7 and 6.35 Beta v18!
Like the others in the past, 6.35 is for PSP 2000 models only, but its update brings some cool improvements:
• Adding PluginManager to the VshMenu
• Removal of “Execute BOOT.BIN” option from RecoveryMenu
• Update of the NidResolver
• And supports custom PS1 DOCUMENT.DAT files
Of course, v7 of 6.37 ME has the same updates of:
• Adding PluginManager to the VshMenu
• Removal of “Execute BOOT.BIN” option from RecoveryMenu
• Update of the NidResolver
• And supports custom PS1 DOCUMENT.DAT files

To install the 6.37 ME v7 custom firmware, first, you need to install CFW or HEN like 5.00M33 or 6.35PRO onto your PSP, and then:

• Copy UPDATE folder at ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
• Put 6.37 official update at ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/637.PBP .
• Run installer from xmb.

What is probably the best feature on this is that if you hold the Right trigger whenever you turn your PSP on, it turns it to the recovery menu like most custom firmwares. But when you hold the Home button, you can boot official firmware! :D

Nintendo hasn’t had the 3DS in America that long and expectations for its sales were high, but who would have though they would not only surpass all other DS sales, but also shatter other records as being the most sold Nintendo handheld in history? Very interesting seeing as how the 3DS is also their most costly.

“Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward.”

Whether or not you’re excited about this handheld, it is very impressive. You’ve got to agree with that.

The new iOS update is here! For now, there is no changes in the signal power in the CDMA models (Verizon, etc.), but AT&T’s will be a minor update, though.
The rest of the changelog is as follows:
• Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services
• Fixes an occasional graphics glitch on iPod touch (4th generation)
• Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks
• Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs
Alongside that, it does patch over a serious flaw in the mobile web browser… Luckily, there were no exploits being worked on, so no real loss!

Next, XCode has been updated for you developers out there!
Here’s the changelog for that
• Improved Assistant editor logic when switching among different file types
