As many of you heard, in january of 27th, on Playstation meeting in Tokyo, Sony announced successor of PSP new portable entertainment device, codenamed NGP (Next Generation Portable - official name to be announced on E3). Since that date, we don't know full specs of this amazing device except some details that device equipped quad-core ARM processing and graphical chipset, GPS, 5 inch brilliant OLED capacitive touch display with 960x544 pixels (twice more that we have seen in PSP - 480x272) and rear TouchPad, second analog stick, 2 cameras and 6 axis sensor with "super oval" design, really great step by Sony. Specs, screens and video inside Internet sources already full about what we can see in this device
After watching PS meeting, i realised that this device is really what i want for portable gaming :) It has everything that i want and this is:
Big and shiny 5 inch display for viewing any content
Internet browser for news
E-mail client for checking my inbox
Games with PS3-like graphics
3G for playing and being online from everywhere

and other things that I really like in this device
GPS
3 axis gyroscope, 3 axis accelerometer and 3 axis motion sensor (electronic compass)
messaging for chatting with friends
Game Trophy support :)
2 cameras
and I can't forget about Rear TouchPad, innovation in gaming :) I really like this thing back on NGP
I will really Enjoy palying games on such powerful piece of hardware :)
So far, info we know about this handheld is:

Battery Life

It would seem to average out at around four to five hours, which makes it on par with the battery life of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS

Backwards Compatibility

PS3 Exportability
Real life Big Boss Hideo Kojima showed off the PS3 Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the NGP, and it reportedly looked almost as good as the PS3 version
Kojima said the NGP demo of MGS4 took the model and data environments from the PS3 and exported them directly to the NGP
Though the NGP isn’t exactly as powerful as the PS3, this sort of portability suggests it’s fairly close, and could seemingly lead to playing proper PS3 games on the NGP
Example: If the PS3 and NGP can share save data, less powerful PS3 games (many of the PSN games) could surely be played with both devices, allowing a user to bring their PS3 game with them after they leave the house

Other info will share Sony to us on E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo)
