GPS
You can buy a GPS add-on for the PSP, but by 2010 we expect GPS will be in everything. If a GPS is included as standard in the PSP 2 it'll not only be extremely useful when you're lost but also potentially allow for some location based games. If the great developers of the world can't think of any new game ideas using the tech then we'd settle for a nicely presented navigation system that is an evolution of the software the PSP add-on currently uses. While the current software has 3D landmarks, it's still pretty basic. With the power of PSP 2 we could finally be able to work out where we are based on a 3D world seen on the screen.
PDA features (and additional keyboard)
Sony introduced a number of non-gaming features to the PSP over the last few years, but it stopped short of offering a complete suite of programs. With the addition of an optional keyboard attachment (like what the PS3 is getting very soon), we can see the 3G internet connectivity, touch screen and software combining to produce a very competent PDA. Apps that would definitely work are an email client, basic word processing, an organiser, web browser, text chat functionality and Skype (which is already part of the PSP's software). To keep costs down Sony could charge for the office suite of applications.
Camera and microphone
What doesn't come with a camera these days? It seems every modern device can at least play music and video and take pictures. Sony released a webcam-like add-on for the PSP and already has a range of basic tools that could be reworked, so it would come down to if Sony can include a camera without raising the cost too much. We assume Sony will provide some form of community service, so live blogging with pictures and videos seems perfectly possible. If they're smart they could tie this directly to mega popular networking site Facebook, essentially letting socialites continue their life sharing while away from a PC.
What do you want to see from the PSP 2? Let us know in the comments below.

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.
