PSP2 Rumors

- Joystiq has a post about some of the rumors out there right now regarding the probable successor to the PSP.
- Shacknews.com claims the PSP follow up is "a successor rather than a redesign of the current system" but recognise a redesign of the PSP may appear too.

- New Tech Spy, much less reputable, the PSP will soon have a touchscreen, will be smaller and have a ton of wireless (WiFi, WiBro, UMTS, EVDO, WiMax.)
