Given that, the PSP2 should also have a slide out keypad for messaging, a larger hard drive, a touch screen, maybe motion controls, a built in mic and earpiece speaker (so it will basically act as a phone) so you can use skype on it that way. Maybe a camera as well, and wireless N capability. To take that a step further, include a lot of the features the PS3 has, more apps, stuff like that, and full PSN integration. Or for maybe the ultimate, work with the Ericsson division and make the system capable of having phone service through a wireless provider as well. Given all that, though, the price would be very high, and with that, very risky. The DS is killing it because of not only the name, but the less expensive (thus, more appealing) price. Then again, the iPhone is making strides and it's expensive as hell the dual stick thing would mean that they might as well just make a PSP2, since any game that will utilize it will be incompatible with the PSP and the Go.

I love the direct download and built in hard drive. I do believe PSP2 needs to be announced at E3…with that said…I’m greatly enjoying my PSP Go even still today.
