PS Vita Firmware Update Brings Folder System Today

Among other things, from today – if you grab the latest Firmware update – you’ll be able to group together apps and games and pop them into a folder.

Here’s a handy list of the other features that Firmware 2.10 brings, thanks to the PlayStation Blog:

• Create folders to more easily manage your favorite application icons on the home screen, with up to 10 icons in each folder and a maximum of 100 on the home screen (including icons inside the folders)
• Verify which PS Vita card you are using by looking at the home screen’s info bar. You can also save the layout of your home screen icons in the memory card
• Added video support allows you to play videos within the browser (memory card required; some videos are not supported)
• New email enhancements allows you to view HTML messages, add multiple email addresses to your contacts, and easily search your messages using the new search feature
• PlayStation Plus members will be able to automatically update PlayStation Mobile format software and upload game save data onto online storage using 3G connection
• New “Mute Automatically” option will mute your PS Vita speakers when your headset is unplugged and pause your music when using the music app

We’ve just checked, and the firmware update is live now, so get downloading if you can! Here’s a small gallery of images showing the folders feature. Also of note today, by the way, is that Virtue’s Last Reward has been added to the PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection. It’s a great game, but make sure you’ve got a spare hour when starting, as it has a lengthy intro.
