I think if they had included a touch screen, they really could have provided serious competition for the iPod. The touch screen wold have allowed thing like text messaging, better browsing and easier navigation. It would have made the PSP Go usable in closed configuration. Being able to flip through music or text message while closed would have been a huge feature. This was Sony's biggest omission. A touch screen would have justified the $250 price.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
