Sometime last night, OS 2.0 was released. You can get it here. I played with it a bit this morning and here are my notes.

Hold down square and move the analog nub to scroll the screen in all directions.

Hold down X on a link to open the link in a new tab.

Hold down square and hit the [L] and [R] trigger buttons to get to the 3 available tabs.

It runs out of memory quickly. Having a couple bloglines pages open and trying to load a 3 megapixel photo gave an out of memory error.

Bloglines-full works but the right frame is very narrow. Use Bloglines mobile.

The PSP input mechanism has improved with completion and a special URL input mode. However, it still sucks.

If you exit the browser but do nothing else (play mp3’s, etc.), it will keep state in the browser and keep your connection alive.

I can’t quite figure out when it will lose my login state on sites like Bloglines, making me type it in again. But it usually keeps it, even when playing a game and coming back to the browser. So I think cookies stay for a while, if not until you explicitly clear them.

I find that I don’t need either of its smart rendering modes. Using the square/analog scroll makes most pages (even the venerable cnn.com) very readable.

When each of the 3 tabs have pages loaded, opening a new page in a tab will prompt you for which tab to use. They are colored and show the doc title to help you pick.

I read in some comments that people said it was slow. I think it’s actually quite fast. Make sure you don’t have powersave mode on for your WiFi. That slows it down a lot.
