Sony X-Series Firmware Update to Firmware v1.11

It appears that Sony has released a firmware update for the X-Series Walkman, X1050/X1060.  I was surprised to find this update considering it was released last year in the middle of December.  This firmware update also pertains to the US model, X1051/X1061, so if you are from the US, don't worry you are not left out.  A quick list of the updates in the new firmware: 

• Reduces the time required to open Web pages
• Improves Web page scroll speed
• Improves Web page layout display
• Improves display of Web pages using frames
