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.

i thought it was supposed to be 16x9?

looks cool.

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.

no way-ohbfrank-

its impossible for all the features of the PSP to fit in that small of a package.

That would rock if the screen is like my sony PDA.

Definitely not the PSP... not even enough space for the UMD :lol:

that would be an awesome Clie! i'd upgrade :thumbsup:

quoting that webpage's text:

SONY, new management strategy, with electronic technology and entertainment fusion to new market creation

Financial section was excluded in the same year, as you aim toward connected operating profit ratio 10%, execute secondary structural reconstruction such as improvement of efficiency and cost reduction, the commodity of electronics and the game, more enlargement of this field such as conversion and fusion of both is assured strongly.

" The PSX " of the new conception which with the growth strategy of electronics and the game, puts out the creation of the new category with technical fusion, up-to-date electronics technology and mixes the game machine (as for details separate thing reference) and, portable type game machine " PSP " on front arrangement.

Thats going to be a rather cool Clie though. Thanks for the translation of the webpage.
