Sony has announced the PSP2 which is set to be released holiday's 2011. They say that the new PSP2 will be almost as powerful as the PS3 console. Here is some information on the hardware that they will be putting into this sucker.

Touch Screen – A multi-touch surface, 5.0 inch OLED displays very crisp content on it’s high contrast display running at 960×544 resolution (323.18 DPI)

Touch Pads – Placed on the front and rear, these capacitive touch pads can control every aspect of your game, from movement to the effective replacement for buttons or triggers.

Flash Memory – Based on flash memory, Sony’s NGP will not use PSP’s outdated UMD drive, but rather have all content as downloadable content, or a proprietary SD/MS Pro Duo format of physical disk for upcoming titles.

PS3 Controls – With an internal sixaxis control, and dual micro-analog joysticks, this system will serve as an effective replacement for all gaming needs, such as analog movement during First Person Shooter play.

Connectivity – With the ability to connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi or a 3G connection, play your Sony NGP anywhere! Web-based features like “Near” feature the ability to see what users physically nearby you are playing, in the real world, on their NGP. Track where your friends are live, and play with them, simply by purchasing the titles they have while on the move over the Playstation Network.

User Interface – LiveArea is Sony’s new headlining interface for the futuristic portable. This interface resembles a synergy of the Android/iOS platform, and Sony’s existing XMB to create possibly the most physically satisfying interface ever on a handheld device.

Under The Hood – Though specific details on what the internal properties are run amiss, the NGP clearly shows that it is a powerhouse in every tech demo displayed at the meeting. Capable of using the Unreal Engine 3, and playing ported versions of the Uncharted series, and Metal Gear Solid 4, it is clear that this handheld is nearly every bit as powerful as Sony’s headlining console. (Update) NGP is running on an ARM Cortex-A9 processor [Quad-Core] with a SGX543MP4+ GPU [Much more powerful than the iPhone 4's former model of this GPU.

Out The Window – If you were interested in using the device for personal photography similarly to your DSi, you’re in luck, and very much in more luck. Featuring a front and rear facing camera, the NGP is slated to take high-resolution pictures where ever you go, similar to your mobile phone.
