FIRST!!
Yeah, except this is not a telephone, is it. it is only a console for playing games on.
so maybe the apple iphone will not look quite so 'antique' as you put it.
Any Game on iphone 4 WILL look antiquated compared to this console. Quad core processor? Quad core GPU? 5" screen? i rest my case. There is no phone in existence that can match these specs. Even the new Tegra chipset from Nvidia is just releasing their dual core mid 2011 (on an LG phone!). Quad core phones will not be around for quite a while.
This is meant for real games, not stuff like 'fruit ninja' and 'angry birds'…. if you want proper gaming power and truly immersive games on a handheld device, then this will likely be the best option for the forseeable future. I would gladly trade integrated phone capabilities for games like Metal Gear Solid and God of War.
What's more is that with android compatibility, you free yourself of the shackles that Apple imposes on you…
3G plus skype, and all sorts of social networking, id say its a lot more cost effective at what it does, but i agree with you to an extent, because the iphone, i believe, is a phone based portable, while the psp is a gaming based portable, they do compete, but they have different target audiences.
Except it has android, which means skype, which means telephone.
it has a mic and internet it can make phone calls
it'll run skype, so yeah, it can be a phone. i've got skype on my computer and i can call phones and they can call me. it costs about twenty bucks a year, but that's muuuuuch cheaper than my cell phone carrier.
is it hd
So do we have to pay for 3G like we do for cell phone plans? Can we just connect it with WIFI instead of 3G and not pay monthly for it?
look imma tell you now this will have NOTHING on the 2DS you hear me shawn NOTHING
your dumb, bro. specs show it has everything on the 3DS (Not 2) and the only things the 3ds has are 3d capabilities and probably the price.
it will be a phone as well dude
Listen to Y-E-s
ngp is better than 3ds no dout. the one thing tghat will make the ngp perfect if they made a gta for it and it was multiplayer capable and u can use the built in mic 2 talk to the other people. seriouly that would be perfect.
except its sony and they will tease and remove all support for it when it suits them
Still, This will make a better console than the IPhone will make a phone… Lol, IPhone needed 3 hardware revisions and 4 os revisions to get it working to basic mms phone standards from 2004, With still no mobile video chat lol, Wifi doesnt count since the rest of the world has been video calling since before 2005 on 3g…
It still has issues doing basic phone stuff that non smart phones have been doing for years… Wheres its support for many file types? Ability to run what u want? Flash support like any smart phone sold in last 5 years? I think Apple missed out the "smart" part of smartphone when making the iphone, the thing didnt even work properly for the 1st 3 years.

Anyone wonder about the RAM or on-board memory?
I'd buy one for sure but the price thats "subject to change" better change on gamestop's site cause right now this baby cost $999.99
so when the psp 2 comes out People will be able to use it as a phone?
this look awesomrrrreeee :):) ):):):):):):):)):):):) Bu t how much will it be?
LOL dnt think about the price. Sony have a bad habit will over priced items when they first come out, so id guess around £450 pounds or 900 dollars.
Id say sony has its ups and downs in the portable industry, well there was only minor changes between psp-3000 and slim and lite models. But this is something that they can make up for and it is a very big improvement. Quad core-core processing :O, thats something everyone should consider, theres not much games that use 4. It could possibly be the first actual handheld device with good graphics lol
JUST CURIOUS… if the PSP2 were available as a phone, would you replace your current phone with the PSP2? Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down, no.
this device can use as phone ???
can we insert a simcard??….
