… the Gizmondo? Remember? Stefan Ericson, the mobster turned ceo that crashed a ferrari enzo in malibu? His little company had the Gizmondo that had GPS integrated into it. Although that device kinda flopped, it still existed so this isn’t an entirely new idea.

@ Chris, I agree with you man. They need to just create a TRUE “gaming phone” I own an iPhone 3G and don’t get me wrong, I like the games and apps that are out so far but I still haven’t seen a game that will actually make a person just throw their psp aside to play monkeyball. I feel Sony would do so much better in the mobile phone arena then they have in the past if they just listen to their customers more often…

As I heard someone say, “make it a phone already”

GPS integrated games!!! The first game that used GPS was Metal Gear Portable Ops where you needed to travel to different regions to collect different soldiers on your team, it was a cool concept if you ask me. Also, I heard Hot Shots Golf 2 would implement GPS as well so the (+|___|÷) is looking good.

They should improve multiplayer gaming rather than adding GPS.. sure they might pick up a few new customers to kind of “seal the deal” but…

Another version of the PSP? Well, I think this version has enough significant change that it will be worth while. I still have the 1st generation, granted I bought it overseas in a different color other than black. It looks like Sony is pushing real hard with this. More PS3 integration would be nice.
