Sony Hints Suspend/Resume And DLNA/Multimedia Features For PS4 via Firmware 2.0

Yesterday at GamesCom 2014, Sony announced a major Playstation 4 firmware v2.0of the game in question and remote controlling Playstation 4 titles over internet.0. It will arrive in Fall 2014 with wide range of fan requested features such as ability to share gameplay videos on YouTube, Share Play feature which allows online co-op gameplay of games even if your friend doesn't have a copy 



The announcement was made on Playstation Blog, however no details were shared about the Suspend/resume
and DLNA/multimedia and other important features. Playstation 4 owners are not happy with this attitude of Sony and has let their frustration reach Sony via comment section on PS Blog.
Scott McCarthy, Director, Product Planning & Software Innovation, SCEA has hinted that other fan requested features such as "Suspend/resume and DLNA/multimedia" might also arrive with PS4 firmware v2.00.
When user "Beckerjr" slammed Sony for not caring about Playstation fan feedback and just concentrating on social media features. Scott hinted there are more things coming with PS4 firmware 2.00 and Sony will talk about it closer to launch.
Beckerjr: "Sony asks for feedback all the time and then just ignores it with all of this endless share/Twitch/streaming stuff they are so focused on. Fixing the main UI so it doesn't just become and endlessly growing line of icons. Suspend/resume and DLNA/multimedia features the 8 year old PS3 can do. I could go on for a long time with things the PS4 desperately needs but Sony seems to only care about social media junk."
When will Sony get off this freaking social fixation they have and work on the fundamentals of the system?
My Thoughts/Opinions:
Let's hope most of this is true. I personally never see value in things like DLNA and multimedia features, suspend and resume is a very cool feature though. But a lot of PS Gamers been asking for these features and really seem to want it. I don't know why but it wouldn't be very smart to keep them waiting right Sony? 
Anyway lets talk about features you would like to see on the PlayStation 4. These features can be taken from other platforms or they can just be some random feature you came up in your head. I personally see more value in features like Early access, Greenlight, Workshop modding tools, etc for PS4 users. But that's just me. Tell me what you guys think what other features would be nice to see on the PlayStation 4?
