There have been plenty of articles where people have talked about the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) and all the fun it *could have been*. We users are rarely satisfied and gripes have been plentiful. I've got my own items as well and I thought I'd compile everything (not just my wants) into a single easy-to-access list. These are in order of possibility/realism as I see it. The funny thing is that there are things not on this list that will actually become features. Does anyone care about video capture?

  1. Fully functional web browser
  2. 802.11g or 802.11n
  3. Email client
  4. Bluetooth
  5. Built-in GPS
  6. Built-in camera w/ autofocus + flash (front + back)
  7. Accelerometer
  8. HDMI out
  9. Dual analog sticks
  10. Dual shock support
  11. SSD drive instead of UMD
  12. Touch screen
  13. 800x480 screen
  14. Free, cross platform media manager
  15. Multi-Task Support
  16. FM Radio
  17. WiMax
  18. PDF Support
  19. More video codecs
  20. Phone chip
  21. SSH access
  22. 'frikkin laser beams
  23. Home brew application support
  24. Online, DRM free music store
  25. SD Card slot instead of Memory Stick

Did I miss anything? It's a lot of stuff isn't it?! No way that Sony could ever get all that done in a PSP2 but hey, I'm willing to watch them try!
