Among the suggestions were XMB-based social networking functions, a keyboard, Bluetooth, a touchscreen, location awareness, and an internal hard drive. While these possible features and all the existent ones certainly make current owners of the PSP smile, the PSP has lost much of the "must have" appeal that it had four years ago as the most powerful handheld gaming device. The funny ...
