Google search comes with the next firmware update which makes it absolutely unavoidable. I have never seen the need for Google Desktop but I am aware of what else it does. So let’s say I do use Google on my PSP. When I connect what else will be extracted apart from the browser? What else will it phone elsewhere? Games saves? Amount of memory used? Firmware hacks? Video / Music usage? Google want money which is fair enough but Sony don’t need that money. The market is too small but what they will want is more data on users and this seems an ideal opportunity to peer into a user’s machine without their knowledge. I cannot see that Sony will argue that search will be useful and if it was said to be then why not make it an optional download through the store? Pushing anything 3rd party through firmware is not good.
