Life with PlayStation available now

Update folding@home to access the new functionality.

Sony has confirmed that Life with PlayStation is now available to download. Described as a lifestyle tool for your XMB, Life with PlayStation features the latest news and weather, the folding@home application and a real-time view of the globe.

To download the tool you simply need to load up the folding@home application from the XMB and allow the update to install - its 126MB so could take a while.

The current channels - Weather Channel and Live Channel (world news) - will be joined by additional channels at a later date. The folding@home application has also been upgraded and can now perform more advanced simulations of folding proteins.

I just got it, and its quite nice. Theres not a lot you can do with it, though. Its pretty much a really cool screensaver [that helps research].

I like the news & weather feature. Thats a very neat feature, now only if they can get some more good games & outsell the Xbox360 & some price cut & Ill buy it ;)
