PSP 2 rumour surfaces once again
T3.com All —
... ? Don't despair, Sony may well be planning something considerably more ambitious than mere colour updates and hardware revisions: a full-blown PSP 2.

Details are almost non-existent, but they are pointing to multi-touch touchscreen technology as the next big step for the handheld console.

Sony smacks down latest PSP 2 rumors: Multitouch ‘is nonsense’
SlashGear —
... Having found that their usual denials are fast ignored, Sony seem to have moved on to sarcasm in their insistence that the PSP 2 is not in development. After IGN suggested that “several credible sources” had told them the PSP 2 would have a widescreen multitouch-capable display, and then theorised - on the back of a Sony questionnaire - that it could also include Bluetooth support, an integrated hard drive and GPS, a source close to Sony has told gaming site MCV that “ ...

PSP 2 soon to get a major revision? Not according to Sony

... but this is nonsense.
The entire matter is open to interpretation at this point. IGN may be spot on and Sony may be doing some quick “sweeping the rumor under the carpet” action.
