The PlayStation app, which by the way will be a free download, will also allow you to view announcements, share news with friends via social apps like Facebook and Twitter, and search for the latest hardware and games available.
Version 1.0 of the app will be available in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and The Netherlands. The next version (which the PlayStation team says they are already working on), will support most SCEE countries and languages. The next version will also allow you to make comments on the PlayStation blog postings.
