***Update***

 

Firmware 2.50 coming tomorrow, along with Flash 9

 

In addition to the features announced yesterday, Firmware 2.50 will feature Flash 9 support for the PS3's browser, according to this post on the official PlayStation community forums. The message also states the update will arrive tomorrow, October 15th.

 

Furthermore, Eurogamer was able to uncover some extra changes that most of us probably don't care about: users will now "the ability to see optional EXIF (exchangeable image file format) information while viewing photos" and "the Y and Z and Q and A keys have been remapped for the German on-screen keyboard."

That's a great feature. I can get rid of the friends that never play from my list.
