Furthermore, it is reported that the PSP2 will include a large OLED touchscreen and a new processor formulated by Sony for supporting high resolution visuals.
While still on the subject of the PlayStation portable devces, the newspaper also covered the rumored PlayStation Phone. As it suggests, the handset is claimed to run on Google’s Android operating system and feature non-game software such as video and scheduling software. This smartphone will sport game features and button-based controls for an easier gaming experience.
The company is apparently planning on taking the covers off the new PSP2 system on January 27, 2011 at a press conference. Mobile gamers can expect the PlayStation Phone to be officially announced next month.
