I fail to see the reasoning behind this...I mean 99% of people will tell you PSP failed because of the piracy(I disagree) and then they go and put an OS that will be hacked beyond repair within minutes of release?

What is Sony thinking? Or did I miss something here? Because the screens I've seen have the android bar along the top of the screen. If all Sony did was make a custom homescreen launcher for Android the NGP WILL be hacked very shortly after release.

I would have thought people would like this because there is no reason to hack it. At least that's what all the hacker fans said was the reason for the ps3 hack, so what is the problem now?

It doesn't have Android afaik. The PS Suite is just an officially licensed Android application that allows the download of PS1 and PSP games.

Well, over here it's only 3 PM. Most of the fanboys haven't gotten out of school yet. Give them 30 minutes for their moms to drive them home and you will have the entertainment you desire.

Nowhere has it been said that the NGP uses a modified version of Android.

Android is already the most hacked smartphone OS in terms of viruses
