Critical question, here. Will it have anti-smudging technology?

I'm serious, though, I'm also pissed at the idea of digital games only.

I don't mind the UMD, if anything, I like them!

So, you will have to buy all the games that you already bought again?
No.
In order to play them on the new psp?
You load them onto a thumbdisk in-store.
Do you know if saved game data will be transferable?
Isn't that saved on the PsP itself?
No, it is saved on a 'memory stick pro duo' or something.

Am I the only one who is disappointed that there is no keyboard on it? I mean let's be frank here, a keyboard on the PSP would be hella useful for some of the currently available applications and it would open the door for many others. Instead of putting the controls on that sliding part they should've retained the original design and put a keyboard on the sliding part.

There is no point for a keyboard on a gaming system (no don't bring up the systems other functions to argue that, it doesn't work), and besides, it already have the keyboard function program on it anyways. Yea for most people the keyboard function isn't all too great because they type things out slow or something but a keyboard is so unnecessary. Use the keyboard function on the current PSP enough and you type things up on it rather quickly, I mean it took me 2 minutes to get used to it...are people really that lazy and inconvenienced?

That mock design is also TERRIBLE. Can you imagine how uncomfortable that would be with the shoulder buttons up so high? Cmon E3 you get here already so you can laugh in the faces of all the gullible idiots who believed in these rumors.

How is the PSP's other features not a good reason to add a keyboard to the design? I mean the mock-up is total shit, so if they keep this design it'll end up being trash anyways.

I find it ironic how you want two analog sticks, yet now you want a keyboard attachment. I guarantee you if they put in a keyboard, it'd be pretty difficult for Sony to ever put in two sticks, let alone one.

Except it's not irony. You probably didn't properly comprehend my post. On the current PSP there is more then enough room for a 2nd Joystick, how would that change if they worked in a keyboard on the slider instead of the normal controls?

Because the amount of space and/or power to have two analog sticks and a fully functioning QWERTY keyboard would suck up too much power in the battery and who-knows what else? People already complain about the battery life of the PSP for some reason, but now you guys want even more crap on there for really no reason at all?

Seriously, name me one handheld that has two analog sticks and a fully functioning QWERTY keyboard that is primarily used for games. And no, navigation sticks on cellphones do not count.

Only reason there are no games that take advantage of a keyboard on the PSP is *ghasp* because there is none. Besides, if you kept the keyboard slider in the closed position the keyboard probably shouldn't be powered in that instance and would help save battery life. Nice try though.

Keyboards are useless for hand held games seriously. There really would be no reason to use one in a game it would just be rather dumb, and there is ALREADY A KEYBOARD FUNCTION ON THE PSP. You can toggle that function to give you a real keyboard layout with all the letter and junk, so putting in a keyboard would be redundant and a wast of space and functionality. Just make a firmware update that utilizes THAT keyboard function on the PSP for games...but then again using a keyboard for hand held games is just inconvenient and stupid. Hand helds are supposed to be simple and convenient.

I will admit though, the pic below I wouldn't mind the PSP being...I mean...damn thats just awesome.
