It's for upcoming models of Sony Ericsson phones that support remoteplay. It turns on an AdHoc WiFi server on the PS3. I think BlueTooth would be too slow for remote play.

Another 'extra' I just read about... apparently PS3 Firmware 3.0 Expands PS3 Download Queue: http://loot-ninja.com/2009/09/02/firmware-3-0-expands-ps3-download-queue/

I discovered one of the lesser known features of the PS3 firmware update v3.0 today while setting up my new PS3 Slim. While re-downloading all of my PSN games and content, I noticed that I was queuing up an unusually large amount of data. Upon inspecting the Download Management section, I found that I had 29 items in the download queue. That’s a lot more than was previously allowed. The last time I downloaded such a large amount of data was a few months back when I hit the wall at 15 items in the download queue. Now with firmware 3.0, you can queue up metric tons of content from the PSN and let your PS3 download them for days on end.
