From Kotaku.com
There have been rumors ever since the DS Lite hit that Sony was also planning a redesign of its portable. Some of those rumors have ground in reality, some of them are just wishful thinking. Nothing official has been announced, and Sony has shot down any chatter regarding a redesign saying it's not happening. With all this, PSP2 looks to be a pipe-dream — Like it's not happening.
Apparently, it is.
Various third party and highly placed sources state that the PSP2 is coming. Speculation is swirling around the industry, and third party publishers are hoping to tie their games to the PSP2 launch. Thing is, Sony has yet to pass along any information about when that will be. Meaning we won't see big third party titles at launch.
Word has it that a big announcement will most likely hit at E3 with Sony unveiling the redesigned portable. An announcement of launch date (which should be sometime 4th quarter) is entirely possible as well. The redesigned product apparently does exist as this is what we've heard so far:
* The screen is gorgeous
* The loads are faster
* Improved buttons
* Internal flash — 8GB
* Possible touch-screen
* Possible built-in camera
* Uses UMD
The recent blockbuster success in Japan should prove that the PSP is anything but dead and deserving of a make-over. Stay tuned!

Sounds great, but wasn't "uses UMD" a feature of the original? Come on, Sony.
Who gives a fuck?

Gasp! How orginal! I have never seen this before!

if it does release it won't be any time soon, as stated. This source must be old however, last I heard, there wont be E3 anymore... have I been misinformed?
Ive heard rumors of a camera for some time, and almost a admittion to it by Sony when they released new version of the PSP software with a Camera option in the photo menu. However what will be the practical use for it in a hand held. Other than a digital camera, Video VoIP has also been rumored but why? And more with the bandwidth the current PSP yields, what quality will we see? Perhaps it will be incorporated into the otherwise useless PSP connection to the PS3.
At a glance its exciting, but in retrospect I think it will be a big disappointment, and wont have a market in America and Canada.
Hopefully the screen lacks the horrible ghosting this time. Faster load times might make the Power Stone Collection playable.
Gimmick, gimmick, lol.
Sweet. I can't wait to blow $500!!!!
WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

God, it is just like that 360 revision thread.
In other news, I have a feeling I will be breaking my PSP on a rock and lying to the store, claiming that my copy of Spiderman II on UMD broke my PSP...
...if I even had a PSP.

Wouldn't the load times only be for nongames? A lot of people would be pissed if they had to buy a new PSP to reduce the load times.
Pssh. The touch screen will never work.
Sony is teh doomed!111
Yes, you have. E3 still exists; it just won't be such a circus. It's going to be an honest-to-God media event.
Of course, this is all speculation as far as the PSP touch-screen is concerned, but it wouldn't be the first time.
EDIT: before I get flamed for being a fanboy, I want to mention that I'll probably buy a PS3 down the road, but it's getting to the point where I'd feel bad giving Sony any of my money.

I wouldn't mind as long as they admitted to copying Nintendo.
OIC no more kids that work at EB in the local mall will be able to go claiming there in "the biz"
Good show
You would have a lot of beating to do.

But I'm all for an improved hardware revision. Faster load times work for me.
And it just so happens that this occurs the year I'm 18 and going to LA is May.
If anything, we should credit this piece from Gamesindustry.biz:
There's also no real time frame for release, so it could be next month or it could be next year. Of course, this would all have to surface about a month after I buy the old PSP. :P
EDIT: Just reread the Kotaku piece, and they're rumoring an E3 announcement with a Q4 release. I could see the former fairly likely, but the latter? Not so much.
Quick and dirty
Oh inthegray, how I've missed you.

Sir, I bow to your amazing skills.
I think it's in there to give the implication of backwards compatibility, which would be pretty key. If this thing does happen, I think a lot of people would buy it and then swoop down on all of the older PSP titles. That's what I've been doing, and I haven't paid more than $20-$30 for any of them.
