Sounds interesting, the one thing I would wonder about the most is does the new unit have a longer battery life ?

For Sony to design and market a whole new model, they must have something up their sleeve. Perhaps a feature not yet revealed or a future firmware update. Maybe Youtube support and Mobile PS Store?

Perhaps just a die shrink for more battery life? Would be nice to save energy.

I have old version with one of those jumbo sized battery packs and it works great for me. The extra bulk also makes griping the PSP more comfortable for me. I don't see a problem with battery life. But then again I don't use it for hours on end like some probably do. I can do a five hour train ride with no problems, watching UMD movies or playing games and have battery to spare for a return 5 hour train ride. I've done flights from the Europe to the US on one battery with no need to recharge. I don't know, maybe I'm just really lucky. But those are the only times I really use the PSP.

Hopefully the upgrade the processing power and/or battery life. Microphone, meh.
