PSP2 - Codename NGP (Next Generation Portable)

Okay, so most of my friends know I'm not a Sony/PlayStation fan due to their scummy business practices, broken promises, developer restrictions, proprietary media formats, arrogance, etc. But since the PSP2 will be competing with the 3DS and actually has potential (two thumbsticks!), I'll try and remain unbiased and share some of the specs and pics.

-Touchscreen: Multi-touch screen (capacitive type)
-Rear touchpad: Multi-touch pad (capacitive type)
