You know that crazy next-gen PSP (NGP) with multiple touchpads, dual analog sticks, and quadrupled resolution that Sony just trotted out? Yeah, it’s got a quad-core Cortex-A9 and a quad-core Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX543MP4+ GPU doing the grunt work within. We’ve never seen a handheld this powerful. Then again, considering the darn thing won’t be launching until this holiday season, maybe quad-core parts will be the least Sony will need in order to match up to the ” super phones ” coming up this year. We’re just wondering how long any of these souped-up portables will last on a charge. Full spec sheet after the break.

Article by WN.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. Much like President Herbert Hoover, President Barack Obama got it wrong in his State of the Union Address. If there was ever a time for government intervention and relief for millions of America workers, it was during The Great Depression, something Hoover did not recognize. Simultaneously, if there was ever a time for government involvement and intercession on behalf of America’s moral life and with its collective ideals, it is now, something Obama did not acknowledge. Whereas Hoover never understood the politics of an economic depression, Obama does not understand the politics of a moral depression. It is an unfortunate twist of fate, in…

Sony just dropped a bomb on the Japanese stage — not a single PlayStation Phone , but a PlayStation Phone experience for everybody. The company unveiled a cross-platform software framework called PlayStation Suite, which sounds rather boring in those words, but what it amounts to is an official PlayStation Store filled with games for your Android tablets and cellphone s. Sony’s starting with an emulator for existing PSOne titles and is promising an Android game store later this year, but soon it might be much, much more: the company’s calling PlayStation Suite a “hardware-neutral” development framework to make games portable for all sorts of handhelds, and says that “new and exciting content” is also on the way. Sony will sponsor a first-party licensing and quality-assurance scheme called PlayStation Certified, and provide the marketplace as well, likely hoping to attract major game developers to build top-tier titles for mobile and get a piece of the action too. If your device doesn’t have have a pop-out gamepad handy, it looks like PlayStation Suite will emulate touchscreen controls, and you won’t necessarily need a phone to get in on the action, as Sony says the next-generation PlayStation Portable will be compatible with games developed for PlayStation Suite right off the bat. Doesn’t look like we’re getting any details on game prices or compatible devices, but we imagine one particular phone will change all that at Mobile World Congress next month. Update: Looks like PlayStation Suite requires Android 2.3 at a minimum, and it’s PSOne, not PlayStation Portable titles that will be emulated here, despite Kaz Hirai’s quote during the festivities. PR after the break!

We’re gonna level with you, we’re not entirely sure what (if anything) Sony will show off at its Tokyo meeting today — other than “business [overview] and strategy,” of course. All the same, with the rumor mill in high gear about a possible PSP2 debut, we decided to take a chance and fly halfway across the world. Will it end up a worthy excursion with momentous payoff ? Some fiscal and corporate chatter? A new Japanese ad campaign featuring a terribly dubbed Kevin Butler? Follow along!
