Sony calls it the new PSP or PSP 2000, we call it the PSP slim or PSP lite, but whatever you call it it’s got some nice upgrades to make it worth an in-depth look. That’s where Cnet‘s hands-on video comes in. At E3 2007 Sony’s Senior Product Manager John Koller explained all the new updates in detail.
These new features include: a 33% lighter weight, size is 19% slimmer, improved responsiveness D-pad, new speakers that have also been moved up, WiFi switch moved to the top, new UMD loading tray, the USB port now charges the PSP as well, of course the new video-out function for pictures, videos & games where the PSP becomes the controller (cable not included), twice the RAM (now 64MB) for shorter loading times, and new enamel colors Piano Black & Ice Silver for the handheld (Ceramic White bundle later on).
