Sony to release new handheld sometime in the future

According to Eurogamer, sources close to Sony say that sometime in the future, a new PlayStation Portable will be released. While there's been no official word, the game site is reporting that there could be an update to the current PSP (which might be called the PSP 4000), and in the not-too-distant future (2010 or 2011), Sony will introduce a completely new model, confusingly dubbed the "PSP2." David Reeves, SCEE president has recently been quoted as making vague, suspicious statements such as "there are currently no plans for a PSP2," and "I go to Tokyo quite a lot and no one has referred to it - I think they have their hands full at the moment." Nice try Reeves, but If you keep up these kinds of thinly veiled allusions to a new system, we suspect it's only a matter of years till this cat's out of the bag.

I'd buy the handheld in the picture. If only it were real...

Isn't it obvious that they'd make a new handheld somewhere down the line?

Where are the L+R buttons?

That'd be the hardest console to hold ever.

i think its just concept art..

what is with this releasing yet another psp version 4000? it just doesn't make sense. are they going to add a 2nd analog stick and call it the psp 4000? if i were sony i would use the existing untapped potential of the machine rather than focusing on releasing compeltely new versions every year.
