If the PSP2 goes Android, piracy is only going to be worse. The piracy rate is close to 97% in Asia for Android. Sony won't be able to close holes either because they don't control the OS.

Maybe. But I expect if they wen't with android it would be a modified version of android, which is entirely within the scope of the android ecosystem. It would have a new DRM scheme build into it and no doubt SONY would be constantly updating it to close new security holes. I also bet it would _not_ include the normal android marketplace.

Sony has already proven to be slow at android updates. Adding yet another layer of customization would only make it worse.

Well, id say half the phone makers are really slow on their android updates, hell, one of my android phones didn't get an update for an entire year, and it was still only and "old" update (1.5 -> 1.6 when 2.0 was already out). But you do have a point, SONY is notorious for slow updates, android or no. It might get even slower if they have to deal with the extra layer of android.

SONY needs to get a better firmware dev team or something.
