Doesn't seem to be a huge update, shame, unless there are additional tweaks not listed?

Just updated mine. Works great with shadowrun. Must have the otg cable to be able to connect first.

Great stuff. Could someone explain the connection to the wireless controller? OTG, what's that in relation to a cable?

 

[SWFlyerUK]

Just waiting for a UK update

 

[vivftp]

Just to clarify, do you have to wire your PS3 controller the first time to get it to work then you can go wireless? Or do you have to wire it every single time?

 

[saiyolang]

You have to use the sony cable SGPUC1 to first sync with the tablet, after that you will not need it anymore. Unless you lost the pairing.

Updated the first post. So far, Japan got the update.

Those who have updated, please give some feedback on your device region.

Back to the update, I noticed the new Android Market, loads much faster. And, the Wifi disconnection issue has improved. Wifi connection immediately restored when waking up from sleep-mode.

I'm here in Toronto and the update installed just fine.

I'll hopefully get access to a PS controller tomorrow to test it out.
