This is going to enable Playstation 3 owners to access many amazing features and do many things they weren’t able to do before such as: DivX and WMV video support with Blu-ray profile 1.1 and an addition to Internet radio.
In my opinion this is an historic event in the Playstation generation, has this just settled the battle between the Xbox 360 and the Wii, I think so!
From Sony Playstation Blog
From the PSP’s launch, we’ve been discussing its multi-functional strengths, and with the addition of Internet Radio in firmware update 3.80, PSP owners will be able to access thousands of stations in a wide range of diverse genres.
