PSP with 8 GB / 16 GB built - in flash memory

PSP with 8 and 16 G flashVideo gamers check this out - about Sony PSP's 8 and 16 GB flash and UMD less PSP, according to engadget.com, the next-gen PSP have been growing decidedly louder as of late, and now 1UP's gotten a ton of new details from what it claims are sources directly involved with the new system.Here's what they have been told: the slot for UMD disc was removed and it will be replaced with options for either 8GB or 16GB of built-in flash memory. Also nixed is any hope of a PSP-4000, with Sony opting instead to use a subtitle. Three rumored names include PSP Slide, PSP Flip, and PSP Go!, the latter of which borrows from Sony's pre-existing Go! brand and suggests there might be a built-in camera à la PSP-3000's Go!Cam peripheral. The same D-pad, analog nub, and face button configuration remains, but they now slide out from the bottom of the unit (see mockup, pictured).

Expected launch is September for Japan and late October / early November for US, and coming with 'em are over 100 classic and new downloadable titles including Gran Turismo Mobile as a headliner.

That's one mighty intriguing rumor -- we can only hope it pans out.

All I can say is, how about including a qwerty keypad in it?? Does it sound like it would be better too, right?
