At a
Sony PlayStation event in Japan, SCEE President has just announced some details about the successor to the PlayStation Portable - codenamed the Next Generation Portable (NGP).
There's no official PR yet, but the basics are: : dual analogs sticks, a 5-inch OLED screen capable of 960x544 resolution, GPS, 3 axis movement detection, and a front and rear camera.
Portable versions of Uncharted, Killzone and some other big name brands will be launch titles, but stay tuned for more information. More details are available in the live coverage on the
PlayStation blog.
Update: the full press release is
now available and includes a photo of the device.

Very shiny. still hate that they kept the old D-pad design though. Sucks so much for any fighting games.

no, they just denied that they new anything about the psp2. sony probably told them to keep their mouths shut.

Any info on the costs of the 3G connectivity? Hopefully they do something like Amazon did with the Kindle, giving free (though limited) 3G internet access on the device. It'd be a kick-arse multiplayer device in that case.

Fixed.

So this thing will store your save game data on the same card the game comes on? Does it even have a separate storage space to keep music/movies?

I'm curious about how developers will implement the front and rear touch screen in future games.

"According to the specs released the PSP2 sports the same processor as the Tegra2 and graphics chipset as the Ipad except customized.
Tablets that use these two chips have a average battery life of 6 to 10 hours and have a price between 250 to 499. However the PSP2 uses OLED which is cheaper than LCDs the tablet uses and uses less battery power.
Not to mention the smaller size of the screen and how tablets have touchscreens, wifi and cameras, we can see the PSP having a comparable price of 299 with a better battery life than current tablets. If Sony is selling at a loss, a 250 price is likely as well.
We could see the PSP2 having quite a good battery life and price. Along with the game developers working for it, I'm sure the PSP2 will see a amazing game library and be a great handheld."

Seriously though, PSP might interest me if they bought out some decent games. But since the original release of PSP only one still interests me, and I stopped playing it lonnnnng ago: Lumines.
