PSP Firmware update including Web Browser still not available?

Rumor had it that Sony were plannning on releasing a firmware update for the PSP in the US that amongst other features added a Web Browser to the PSP to use the WiFi networking.

This update has already been available in Japan and was expected to be released by Sony in the US on August 12th, although nothing has appeared on their site yet.

This is obviously a very eagerly awaited update – on the PSP forum on the Sony site one thread discussing (and waiting… waiting…) the update collected 11952 posts on and around August 12th. Sony have posted a message on the board saying the 2.0 update for the US will be released during the week of August 15th – but it’s still not here yet…
