PSP2 now in the hands of "'Numerous" Developers

Well, all of Sony's internal teams as well as a growing number of third partys now have the PSP2 dev-kit, and are prepping for a "significant launch window line-up".

Detail's are still scarce, though some have said it will have Touch Controls on the back, and that is will act like a smart phone and is powered by Android.

If I can get it for a decent price without the phone service, count me in. The PSP was a great console. I hope for a Persona 4 Portable and a Persona 2 Portable.

Well, its not like they could make it worse than the "Go."

Someone in another PSP-related thread said...

It's the PSP's successor.
It is already in the hands of some dev's, like NetherRealm Studios.

It is said to have a similar external design to the GO, but with a UMD drive for backwards compatibility. It is also said to have "Touch-Sensitive" controls on the back of the handheld, The games may come on preloaded media cards (basically, they would come as memory sticks that you just put in and play, data would be stored on a internal HDD) and to have "Late-cycle PS2" level graphical capabilities.

For some reason, reading that part about "late-cycle ps2 level graphical capabilities" made me think of....and laugh at me if you will...a PS2P (PS2-Portable). XD I was thinking of a PSP the size of the old Portable CD-Players that had the same capabilities of the PS2.

THat was just me....and a load of popsicles, but I swear to god, that's what I was thinking of. I hope the PSP2 sheds more information.
