Rumor: Details Revealed of "PSP 3G"
Don't get your hopes up, folks, but there is something of a rumor stemming from NeoGAF about the next iteration of the PlayStation Portable, dubbed herein as "PSP 3G:"
David Perry // Producer, SCEA: Also well known as the PSP-4000 or the PSP2, the new PSP model will be called PSP 3G. Unlike previous PSP models it will have a touch screen as well as an UMTS support, Bluetooth and a microphone. That means you will be able to use it easily as a normal mobile phone. With its ultra compact size and design it will be not much bigger than an iPhone but it will offer you the highest gaming comfort. There wont be any UMD-drive any more but instead a keyboard with a slide mechanism though. But of course, you will be able to download all the games from the PSN Store with the PSP 3G soon. Cooperating with Sony Ericsson, we will be able to deliver the PSP 3G in the USA and Japan by the end of April 2009. First pictures will follow tomorrow.
The source of this rumor, however is this site, which as of this writing seems pretty dead to the world. It was also posted on PlayStationPortable.de, where now all that remains is "Diese News wurde nicht gefunden," or "This news was not found," likely indicating it was removed.
So, yeah. I think someone was duped somewhere. If you see this pop up, don't buy into it unless we see something more official.

END of April 2009
That sounds FAKISH
also NO UMD means no current games would work if I were to "UPGRADE" to it
