Possible first look at PSP



The debate is whether this is a new Palm OS Clie or the PSP.

My money is on the PSP.

If someone here can read Japanese this article may have the answers.

Looks kinda like the GBA SP with the flip top design, looks cool.

Anyway, right under the picture it is talking about the Clie and even has the word for it "ku-ri-e" (the bold print under the picture), so its not it .

Where is the D-pad and buttons? Maybe the screen lifts up like the GBA SP then spins around, the controls could be under the screen in the picture?

it's very small.
