The PlayStation Blog announced a few interesting bits about the Life with PlayStation feature coming soon to the PlayStation 3. A set release date is not yet known, and they stated that the paperwork is still being finalized before a release date can be announced.
They also shared a few new details about the service:
We’re going to offer this as a free service that will be easily accessible directly from the XMB. Life with PlayStation will feed live content to your PS3 with updates on news and weather on a visually stunning and interactive global map. Imagine being able to wake up to your PS3 to see if you need to pack an umbrella for the day. Or just relax as you listen to your favorite tunes while reading up on top news from around the world.
Additionally, users will be able to run the Folding @ Home application while using the Life with PlayStation service. You can help the world while looking at it, all at the same time!Source
