A few months ago, some general statements about PS3 having a major browser upgrade were said via responses to fans of the PlayStation Twitter page. Given the good partnership between both Sony and Google, we have good reason to believe that the upgraded browser Google Chrome, the browser I'm currently typing into, will provide the rejuvenated PS3 web browsing experience. Sony has recently listed a job for the position of Senior Software Engineer under the SNEI branch. Google Chrome is significant to this job listing by the citing of WebKit, the engine of which Google Chrome runs on. The open sourced WebKit powers the amazingly responsive Google Chrome browser on the PC platform. The PlayStation Network browser runs on a software called Cairo, and Google Chrome runs on WebKit, both are cited within the job listing. This discovery gives a bit of insight on what we can expect to see on PS3 and other Sony products in the future.
Full Job listing follows:
