Sony’s new “Smaller” PSP with Touch-Screen

Could this be the V2 PSP? (No it isnt but interesting idea)

Sony is set to rock the gaming world once again with a new play platform entry. The PSi (interactive) is just 4.5” wide and carries a 3” LCD with 16 million colors. Other familiar features include a tightly squeezed UMD and memory stick duo. Amazingly the PSi has the same pixel resolution as PSP, with 480 x 272, so gaming titles will not have to be reformatted.New Tech Spy has learned through well placed sources that Sony is apparently hedging its bets against the possible death of UMD and positioning itself against Nintendo’s DS lite, which sold an impressive 380,000 in Japan in March.

The PSi is designed with a nearly unscratchable touch screen that will give users a virtual keyboard in which to enter internet addresses and other duties previously unavailable to PSP users. The rest of the body is constructed of matte finish plastic to eliminate the smudge-laden appearance of its glossy exteriored sibling. The " i" also gives the PSi the ability to work not just with WiFi networks but with WiBro, UMTS, EVDO, and future WiMax networks via switchable modules that correspond with each system and their sponsors... Which leads to some questions; wireless photo sharing?, peer-to-peer gaming? or possibly music, game and video downloads? One thing is for sure, without the support of UMD by the major movie studios, Sony may have to find another way to bring in profitable content.

Just to make sure your reading correctly this is a fake but like i said above its an interesting idea

Im not convinced i like it. i love the features but it looks a bit.......small.

I like the PSP, but it's a bit expensive. Eh. A smaller version sould be nice. Touch screen would rock. Beef up the processor and put some Linux PDA stuff on there, and THEN I'd be all over it.

Can you imagine?! It's hard enough to play more than an hour on the regular PSP (for big people like me, with big hands) without getting painful hand cramp....I'm sorry, but I'll skip this one....unles they make it homebrew compatible

That Is Fake, Dont Be Fooled.

It's NOT an official news by Sony in a news conference.

Rumours spreading around the net.

Listen to the official news in New Tech Spy!!!
