I think a PSP2 is more likely but not for a while. So just wait and see what happens.

The PSP is fine and it still has a couple years of life left in it. A PSP2 would be nice in a couple years, and to all of you who still think PSP games can run at 333mhz that wont work without a system update.

The flaws that you point out above can be evaded. First of all the one nob problem.
When playing gran tourismo on the PS2 you also only used one analog stick and the X button. So I don't see the problem... When adding another analog stick I start seeing problems. Where do you put that second one? In the middle of the 4 buttons? Under it? (you will get the same problem as you get with the first one, pain in your thumb) My tip for sony; don't add a second nob!!!
Second the pain in the thumb. I agree on that (though I never use the nub, maybe becuase of that reason). But moving it will be another problem. If you look at your PSP you will see that the arrow keys and the 4 buttons on the left are ib ibe horizontale line. The nub is right bellow the arrow keys and the nub is already as close at the arrows as it can get. What might be a solution is moving the arrows and the buttons up slightly but that may cause some physical problems as well...
UMD to slow problem. Yeah UMD is real slow, I agree. But this can be evaded! I played pretty much games now. Wipeout Pure, Burnout hell even The Sims 2. Wipeout and Burnout wern't any problems, the game time whas way longer the loading times (although Burnout had long loading times when doing those crash races which are of course short). But The Sims 2 had hudge loading times, just unbelievble!!! The difference is verry simpel; Burnout and Wipeout both loaded most of the date in the PSP already but The Sims 2 loads something from the UMD every time you tick your X button.
Also a solution might be using the memory stick that is in the PSP as some sort temp. saving (just like your memory in your computer). Conclusion is that UMD is slow when the makers of a game didn't thougd about it...
Flash memory as replacement? I think flash memory of 2 GB will cost a lot more then a UMD disc...
I don't think sony needs to change this design for now! But I do expect a new design when the PSP2 arives. (which will take a lot of years)

Im cool with the PSP right now. But if I was to change something.. it would be all the holes. Like the speakers. Why couldnt Sony make the speakers like the Gameboy sp or something and also, TWO analog nubs would be good. otherwise. DONT PUT FPS ON THE PSP gawsh. I also wish that dust couldnt get into the PSP so easily.
Better get it started Sony

Its only been out for a few years. Why does everyone think it needs to be changed. PS2 & PS1 had like 7 year life spans at atleast 5~6 before talks of the next one. The psp is the greatest handheld ever built. Its a brand new dimension just as the ps1 was with videos and such. Just leave the little guy alone. He has some small flaws but nothing is perfect but it is damn sure close...

I love my PSP, but... I wouldn't mind a change, I agree with everything in this article, but if they wanted the PSP smaller (which I want) the analog stick will not be moving. And maybe, the new PSP will run Linux like the PS3 (more compatibility also) and then we could have homebrew, not ISO loaders, or all that illegal stuff, but like eloader junk, because anything you can get in Eloader is legal (except some illegal roms, and small things). PLEASE!!!

Okay, a PSP2 will happen at some point as it'll make $ony money, but untill then what we have is genuis
machine that people seem to quick to moan about.
Come on, if your used to a Dreamcast controller -
the PSP's setup isn't too much of a problem once
your used to it.
The PSP should never have been named the PSP -
people automaticaly expect it to be a "playstation"
replacement.
Granted the UMD format was a very bad idea, but
this matters not to us homebrew users...
But anyways - what we have is fine. Yes I think a scaled down cheaper version of the PSP would be
great... but it would piss me off no end if it had more
features.

A redesign would just give Sony another reason to raise the price. The DS has no control problems unless if you've been playing Dragon Booster. That game blows.

A second nub would be nice, and perhaps make them clickable, like the PS2 has L3 and R3 in them. And if they could implement a second set of L and R, that would be really cool. (Then the PS1 emulation would be really great on it!) Also, they should work on the UMD format, and double the space on it, and increase the reading speeds of it. I am sure they can squeeze in a couple more layers on that disk. : ) And more RAM in the PSP would help it a lot....and battery consumption should be fixed as well. But other than that, the PSP is all good.

Instead of making a USB camera with firmware addons, go ahead and build a PSP2 but release a USB external periphal controller (or adapter to PS2 controllers)
:D
Solves the bloggers qualms at any rate.
The PSP _reminds_ me of that dog food that they spent millions developing and engineering to be the "perfect dog food" - and it was nutritionally perfect, and should have been perfect taste wise... only problem was the dogs didnt eat it.
The PSP... well it looks great, and works the way they designed it to... it just doesnt fit in our mouths..er... hands very well.
my 2cents are free today I guess.

yea the button placement is very cramping on the thumbs but the way the psp is designed there is nowhere else to put them and its already pretty big so adding more nubs would be pointless.
now to the UMD... they load slow but another laser would drain power too fast and memory sticks are actually quite cheap these days but i would rather be able to put something with more space in the psp because memory sticks only hold so much and are tiny so if anything would be good it would be an extra memory stick slot.
there wont be a new design in a while mostly because they are about to release ps3 with psp compatibility so a lot of people who get a ps3 might invest in a psp and then not want to buy the psp2 because they just spent a crap load on a psp; so that would give the psp at least 1 more year after this coming christmas before redesign. it also still has a lot of updates to be incorporated like the camera, gps, and 4 and 8gb memory sticks(not to be confused with HDD) because the psp can't load an 8 gb stick yet nor is there one available but there is an article from a while back talking about them.

I like the design of the Sony PSP! I just wish that it had alittle more.
*Keyboard. (a design that doesn't look stupid)
*Homebrew (for all firmwares accepted)
*Better Quality TV-OUT Hardware.
*More Functionality e.g. run various applications like skype, msn.... etc. (Properly Assigned Software for PSP use)
*Better Flash Support, Shockwave Macromedia Player, Java Plugin.
*Larger and Cheaper Memory Sticks e.g. 20GB - 60GB (would be nice).
As you can see i have stated the obvious (it can be done!), and i have been (kind of) realistic about my views.
If sony wake up and allow the following, i bet a lot more people would hold on to their PSP for a lot longer.
Let me know what you think or evan better, add any additional software or hardware you would like to see, that i have not already stated above ;DD
!!PSP RULES!!

I want the PSP To be stronger, like, 1ghz lol, 128mb of ram,

"*Larger and Cheaper Memory Sticks e.g. 20GB - 60GB (would be nice)."
... Are you stupid? 20-60gb flash cards are NOT gonna ever be what I would call cheep, at least not for the next 10-20-30 years or something like that... If we are paying $250 for 4gb now, how much would 60 cost? sheesh.

in other words sam you want a 30 pound psp that you carry around in a wagon and whenever you turn it on it burns your eyes out of the sockets and dies in 20 minutes but holds all your mp3s, videos, homebrew, operating systems, and pictures without being slow which would make you extremely happy but you would pay like $1000+ for it

dont you think sony is too busy making sure ps3 is ready and fixing it and making it better to even THINK about redesigning psp? and psp still has high sales. Homebrew is technically illegal unless sony can somehow filter to see who REALLY has those games. the only thing i can suggest is doing what nintendo has done. Creating a lighter and brighter ds, but sony can create a lighter psp with a better anolog stick. but also, rmemeber all of those people who used their old ps1 controllers to replace the psp analog? there are many ways to improve on the psp. And i also remember seeing designs for an add-on to the psp to make it capable of using a variaty of memory cards. PSP2 isnt needed quite yet.
