Live TV
The PSP currently offers a subscription-based TV service but it's not for live TV. GoView offers users on-demand TV shows, movies and sports, but this is only of so much use. What if a big match is taking place or the final episode of your favourite TV show is airing while you're stuck on a six-hour bus journey? Using 3G to stream TV live to your PSP would make commuting boredom a thing of the past. As great as this sounds, there are a few potential pitfalls that could scupper the whole thing. While we imagine free-to-air channels won't be a problem, most of the good stuff these days is shown on Sky or other premium TV channels. If Sony can somehow tie your Sky subscription to your PSP 2, we'd be in streaming TV heaven.
Touch screen + stylus
While we want the PSP 2 to offer games of a quality comparable to that of the PS3, we recognise that the DS has changed the way people view handhelds. As such a touch screen and stylus is essential. This will make the device easier to use as a media hub and allow for a greater range of games. Sony will also be keen to sell the PSP 2 to existing handheld gamers, especially those who have only known the DS. A touch screen will make the PSP 2 seem familiar and allow Sony to offer a selection of games geared to appeal to that audience. A Brain Training clone for PSP 2 anyone?
Flash memory for media format
UMD (the format games and movies are delivered on for the PSP) hasn't been a huge success. The proprietary format made for the PSP has caused numerous problems. Namely, slow data access, producing lengthy load times, and it drains the PSP's battery far too quickly when being accessed. The solution to these problems is for the PSP to use solid state media for games. In two years time we reckon 8GB Flash Memory cards will be quite affordable (perhaps something smaller could even be used), giving PSP 2 developers more storage space, games quicker loading and hopefully the console a longer battery life. The PSP 2 would also use Flash Memory cards to store downloaded games and other media.

Give sony a break guys.... i am sure they will astound.....but these specs?!!
Why don't we tell sony to smash a PS3 into a portable form....some of the reommendations aren't even in the PS3!!!!
another thing....would u like to pay $700+ for such a device?
Think about it and make a better list......
As for my recommedations......
1. better control configurations
2. better graphics.
3. touch screen
4.GPS and cell capabilities
4. Mature design (should not look like its built for kids........and remember its us adults that can afford such systems)
Everything else can be a addon......

It just proves that all you need is a good product that hits it's target audience well. Grunt and power are not everything hence the PS3 and PSP sales compared to other consoles. Where as the PS2 was the weakest of the last generation consoles and just look at its sales and even current skills. Its that simple!

I would probably like everything on this list but the PDA functions and since im in the US I wouldn't get the Live TV since we don't have a service like Sky TV but, if we did have something like Sky TV in the US I know I would use it on the PSP 2 and hopefully they would use my service provider AT&T U-verse service.

Sure, all these would be <i>nice,</i> but you really have to realise what you're <i>asking for.</i> This... this is too much. Far too much.
They might as well just rip a PS3 controller apart and throw a screen between it if they were to go at all this. Then it'd be the size of a PSOne. No thanks.

On that note, pretty much the ONLY thing I'd ask for in the PSP2 is at least 128MB of RAM an better cache for - well, everything. I mean, I know for a fact that that's not too much to ask for and is very financially plausible at this point.
Backwards compatibility would be nice, too. Only problem with that is they'd have to stick with UMD, but I wouldn't be complaining any. I like UMD. Maybe they could create a new disc format with the same form factor as UMD, closer to BD capacity but also compatible with original discs.
There are a lot of things that could be improved on, and a lot of things that are unreasonable. This list is a lot more the latter than the former.
