Ok, so this is not the Sony Ericsson Experia Play, the long rumored PlayStation Phone but Sony in Tokyo announced the successor to the PlayStation Portable. It will have a 5″ multi-touch OLED display with Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity as well as motion control via sensor. It will use flash-based memory for its software titles as well as downloadable content via the PlayStation Store.
Since the PlayStation 3 is officially sold and supported here in the Philippines, hopefully we get the NGP/PSP2 real soon. Although it is still unknown if we will finally get the PlayStation Store here when the NGP/PSP2 arrives at our shores.
The Official Playstation Blog spits out the details such as features, specs, and titles for the Sony NGP.

- Multi-touch 5-inch organic light emitting display (OLED) as the front display
