"Today Martyn Williams posted on Twitter the photo of PlayStation Meeting invite by Sony, on the invite is confirmed the announcement of PSP2, and some features like OLED screen, Android operative system and 3G connectivity.

These features might also be concerned with Xperia Play (PS Phone) but this should not be seen the announcement is set for the Mobile World Congress in February, the document also confirmed the day 27the and the hours: 3pm (Japan Time )."

Whoops. Nice one Sony.

OFF-TOPIC, BUT WAS GAMESPOT NOT WORKING JUST 5 MINUTES AGO FOR ANYONE ELSE?

It's a hugely popular operating system that is available in a huge amount of phones for nearly all carriers. It power phones like the HTV EVO and such. It's popular mainly because it has a hugely customizable menu feature, I use it on my Droid X.

It's been known for a while now that the PSP2 would be announced later today...

Not sure why it would have an Android operating system. So I'm assuming that's just a mix up on the part of that site.

Could be a mistranslation or something. I seriously doubt the PSP2 will use android unless PSP2 and Play Xheria or whatever the hell its called are the same (and they aren't)

I just can't see them dropping the XMB at this point, and it really doesn't make sense for the type of device if you ask me. I think its just a mix up, regardless, this still isn't a confirmation, just more speculation with some evidence I can't read since its in Japanese.

Don't worry. It'll be removed after a couple of months due to it being "a gateway to hacking the system."

I'm sure the author is just confusing the Xperia Play with the PSP2.

I see no reason why they wouldn't continue with the XMB and would use a third-party OS for their dedicated gaming handheld.

Having Android on it makes sense, imagine having all the apps on your PSP. Android is the best operating system for phones and tablets, it'll be cool seeing it used in portable gaming devices. Sonys always upping the ante on technology. If they manage to keep this under 300 bucks, they have a winner.

1Stark1

The console business model, extending into handhelds, is reliant upon a closed platform where developers license the rights to put out software on the platform for a fee for SDKs and per unit sold.

So no, it doesn't really make sense.

I agree with you here. I have heard so many appealing rumours about the PSP 2 recently... and then something points towards android. :(

Guys, this is still just a rumor, it was Kotaku Japan. It is subject to mistranslation and misunderstanding, dont put the cart in front of the horse.

Using Android doesnt make sense, especially when you consider there is also the Xperia Play (playstation phone). I'm calling bullocks. I guarantee you who ever wrote that got confused with the phone.

Slashkice

Oh this is from Kotaku? Most likely a screw-up on their part then.

Kotaku Japan, and they do get many things right, but they get many things wrong too. Until tonight I think you all are really jumping the gun. I don't think sony has any intention on using android for security reasons, I'm sure it'll be the XMB again.
