Internet radio will also be added in the next firmware upgrade. Exactly how the service will work is unclear at this time. [Update: Images have surfaced on Watch Impress' website.]
DVR is a huge feature that unfortunately isn't possible outside of Japan unless appropriate peripherals are released globally. However, internet radio is hopefully something all PSP users around the world will be able to take advantage of. Once again, PSP is expanding its capabilities, becoming more features-packed than anyone could've predicted.

i'll try out that internet radio. That'll be a welcome addition when on travel. But a PSP DVR would be stoked!

North America is still waiting for the camera, and Sony releases yet ANOTHER icon for a feature we can't use.
Anyone know if the 1seg is compatible with the digital broadcasts on this side of the Pacific?

Nope 1seg is only compatible in Japan.
It's kind of like how PAL only works in European Countries and how NTSC only works in the U.S.
And I understand your frustration. I REALLY want something like the 1seg for here! I think it's a great idea.

Sony seems satisfied to be in last place in the handheld console wars. Sony must have noticed that the DS outsells the PSP. Sony needs to pay more attention to the much larger US market.
