Will the PS Vita gain the ability to download everything online in the background while gaming & using apps thru a Firmware Update like the 3DS did with Firmware 2.1.0-3U?

This is news to me too. I didn't know they were able to improve the battery life of 3DS. Most i hear is that XL has good battery life while the smaller one suffers just like most modern portable devices to some extend.
