I'm feel certain that Sony is looking into a PSP-2. I'm also fairly certain that its not even complete on the drawing table yet, and that its not "coming soon".

The PSP-1 has been wildly successful, given Nintendo's absolute dominance of the handheld market... basically forever... until recently, where their dominance has waned from "absolute dominance" to "pretty much mostly sorta dominance".

I will score a PSP-2 the day it shows... or within a few months anyhow. I hope it has UMD BC.

 

I'm thinking that would be an add-on accessory like the memory card reader for PS3

The unit will probably have the B/C built in, but the UMD drive might have to be seperate.

They'd also include a (Legal) way to either copy the disk to the units memory (in which case a cable connected unit) or i'd expect it to look like the X360's HDD look where the drive clips on in some way.

As for PSP2 software distribution, baybe some form of proprietry flash memory stick and internal mem for the saves/DLC etc? Can't be more expensive than a UMD is to make

I can't see UMD having a lifespan too much longer than the lifespan of the PSP1
