    also not mentioned in the article above, I got Cyberskunk's permission to use the Package Manager code for this release.

    Props to Cyberskunk (and evilsperm as well) indeed... I guess it does hint at it in the changelog above: Added Package Manager to "The Homebrew Channel" (thanks to Team REBUG [Cyberskunk and Evilsperm])

    Removed "PlayStation Store" icon from the XMB Game Category
    Wow, kinda harsh Although I know we won't see any online on CFW in near time.

    actually I though 1 playstation store icon was enough PSN category still has one, why they thought we needed 2 I do not know.

    I'm assuming it checks for the presence of a Cobra USB before allowing the functionality, or are they just not functionally available (can select stuff but nothing happens)?

    Also, how is the progress of cloning the Cobra USB going??

    Yeah I think it's harsh removing the PSN category, but at the same time it's pragmatic and logically makes sense as there is no use for it while all CFW's are offline only.
