i realy dont think we will see a 1.9 at all.

my money is on a 2.00 being anounced at E3 and relased the week after.
as for features, im thinking better BC and a ingame cut down xmb that allows you to message people from ingame and check on background dl/ing and maby even ingame music playing.
also more photo silide shows.
and some other stuff that i havnt even thougt of

divx would be good,

you dont have to convert them any more any way you can stream them from your pc to ps3 with TVersity
www.tversity.com/
also you dont see alot of things that are encoded using divx these days.

Any update that's useful would be great!! Music from the xmb and in game video when playing multiplayer. I know it might only be specific to certain games, but why the hell not make it a common function. As for the PS3's browser, I don't own a PC so it is what enables me to give my little opinions on this lovely website.... I also purchased Armored Core4 and it's pretty sweet i think. Mech fan's and the like only though i think

I would love a update that lets you install games that have been downloaded on a external Hard Drive rather then putting a bigger internal one it. (Yes it wont happen but I can wish)

I have just found this on the Official Playstation Blog page, we will get firmware 1.82 before 1.90:

blog.us.playstation.com/

Apparently it will allow playback of H.264/MPEG-4 High Quality AVC files along with updates to the PS2/PS1 playable games list.

The poster gave away a few hints regarding audio too:

"Hopefully this update is moving us closer to the audio playback features many of you commented about in my post the other week."

To me this seems like in-game music etc is just around the corner...hopefully.

Thanks WiiMan for the info.
After this I think 2.00 will be the next firmware
