It better not be a new PSP, I'm going to get the PSP Go and if they make a new one I'm gonna be pissed off.

Probablya MP3 player.

If the PSP Go would have just had a second analog nub, and a touch screen (and some beefed up hardware) I'd be surprised if it did NOT beat out the DS in sales, and games.

Great developers have proven that touch screens are great for handheld gaming, so one can only hope Sony will be smart enough to put one into their next gaming handheld.

I would agree but the price of said beast would probably ridiculous. So I'm not sure it would beat the DSi. the pspgo is already $50 cheaper than a ps3. So a beefed up pspgo with a second analog and touch screen would cost about??? Definitely more than a ps3.

Theres no point to add a second nub because none of the games that are already in the PSP's library would have support for it.

That looks suspiciously similar to an iTouch or iPhone, so I'm surprised that they can patent that.

Did you notice the side little "buttons" for added grip. It's nothing like the iTouch/iPhone (sarcasm). Still companies can always patent similar technology just not the same that why patents usually have a lot of pages to incorporate a lot of things.
