Wonder if that's both cameras.  VGA is probably a bit shoddy for a rear camera by today's standards (then again, this isn't really a camera device, so IMO not much of an issue).

Hmm, I'm guessing the Vita cards are the game cards, and memory card slot is possibly a M2?

One port for all of them?
That's interesting, and possibly bad if it means a lot of proprietary poo poo.

It looks like a modified M2.

It looks like a black pop-tart with a chip in it~

I AM SO BORED D8

The most important question....

How long's the battery life?  Because if this can only run for 3hrs on battery, then it's still a useless piece of crap however powerful it is.

I don't know why the hell it supports ASP but whatever.

Sounds pretty good. Although 3 hours of batt life sort of sucks

Plus not to mention having to get a M2 as well

Wait wait wait...

I'm saying IF it lasts only 3hrs then it's useless, not that it actually lasts 3hrs.  I don't know long long it lasts thus why I'm asking.

Ive heard it should be able to last as long as the original PSP, 5-6 hours or more depending on what your up to (Music etc)

However for gaming id expect at least 4 hours otherwise its not really worth it. Im sure Sony is onto it though.

If it has similar battery life for games, you should get more for music/videos because they should use comparitively less power.
Then again, PSP had hardware decoders for both, so if PSV uses software decoders, it may be negligible.

well there is a lack of a Disc drive, I dunno how much less power is taken up by OLED screen...

i was saying 3 hrs of battery life = suck
