One of the biggest PS Vita updates is finally out!
While some of you may already know, one of the biggest PS Vita updates is finally available to download, adding Themes, Trophy rarity, web browser improvements, and much more!

The themes will be released later today according to Sony. There will be 3 "non-game" themes called Crystals, Four Seasons, and Stitching available today. Three themes based on Sony first-party exclusives: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Tearaway, and Freedom Wars, will be released soon afterwards.

Main Features

Trophies
  • You can now see how rare a trophy is. Select [PSN] and then select the title.
Calendar
  • You can now add other players besides your Friends when you create events.
  • You can now save events received through [Messages] and [E-mail]. Select the calendar file inside the message to view the event, then select [Options] > [Add to Calendar] to save the event to your calendar.
Miscellaneous
  • References to the product name on VTE-1000 series system screens have been changed to [PlayStation TV] or [PS TV].

Here's a fun fact for the new enhancements to the web browser. According to HTML5 Test.com, Vita’s browser has improved from its previous score of 291 to 345. This would make its browser the second best amongst dedicated video game platforms for HTML5 content; pretty cool huh?
