PS Vita Gets Mac OS Support, Maps and Video Recording In Firmware 1.6

The PlayStation Vita is getting another firmware update this week, taking the portable’s system software to version 1.6.

The update will include a new ‘Map’ application on the LiveArea homepage, and will allow the ‘Photo’ application to record video (it was previously limited to stills).

In addition, Sony have ported the Content Manager tool to the Mac, so that non-PC owners can start to get in on the action of copying and backing up their Vitas.

The Map tool, at least in Japan, is powered by Google – let’s hope the software appears on European models too.

Thanks, AndriaSang.
