Sony Sidekick PSP mashup design
Everyone has been speculating about the release of a new PSP. Fan Samuel Lau is one of the PSP fans hoping for the announcement, and on the official Sony PSP forums displayed his vision of what the next version should look like.
As Yanko Design points out, Lau’s vision looks like a combination of a T-Mobile Sidekick phone and an existing PSP. Lau’s improvements to the system include a screen that slides up to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard and a camera built in.
Lau’s video message to Sony with his concept design:
While the camera and keyboard are nice, I’d rather see a built in microphone for the system. After all, a keyboard peripheral is supposedly going to be released, and people can import a camera peripheral from Japan (Chotto Shot) or Europe (Go!Cam).

Put quite simply, I don’t like his concept design. I think the PSP is fine as it is now; it’s more slim and much lighter. It does not need anything else. That built-in microphone might be nice, but other than that, I don’t think the PSP needs any new hardware upgrades.

(And some wifi multiplayer games.)
