For the moment, at least, you'll be looking forward to news about the NGP – the Next Generation Portable." ARM® Cortex-A9 core (4 core), SGX543MP4+, Front and Rear camera. Rear touch pad, GPS.

    I have no use for a portable gaming system. I'm either driving (can't play), at work (can't play), or at home (prefer the full screen console).

    Even the attraction of PSP-2 exclusives is not enough to draw me, because the exclusives eventually end-up being ported to PS2 or PS3. At least that's what happened with the original PSP.
