Tech Rumor Mill: PSP 2 PRTTY PLS!

What's the PSP of the future like?

What's the PSP of the future like?

Time and time again, our dreams of ultimate portable gaming were crushed and debunked last year. Fellow avid gamers were craning their necks online for news of a PSP 2 launch in time for Christmas last year. Alas, Santa did not seem to heed our calls.

This year, we catch whiff once again of a PSP 2 rumor. Is it? Or is it not?

Sources say that a prototype is already in the works. Which means we can cross our fingers for a spanking new gaming device by autumn this year.

Mobile trends are gearing towards interconnectivity. If you’re a fellow geekie, you’ve been following the flow. Wi-Fi was hot last year, all portable devices sport 3G this year. Even netbooks and notebooks boast of their 3G connectivity. So will the new PSP 2 try to crush the iPhone and offer mobile phone service as well? Or will they stick to their role in gaming and stay faithful as the best portable gaming device — nothing more, nothing less?

One thing’s for sure, we here at Geekie cannot fathom a PSP 2 without Wi-Fi. Since emerging trends are also going towards opening app stores, and downloading open source freeware, PSP 2 just might do away with those UMD cartridges as well. Imagine being able to download the games straight to your handheld console — over Wi-Fi OR 3G. This subsequently spells out uber-powerful hard disk space and memory as well.

Of course, these are all geekie speculations. Till then, let’s hope the official announcement is just a season away.
