Rumors about the successor to Sony's popular PlayStation Portable continue. The latest: this awesome device will have a touchscreen and a slide-out panel with buttons and two analog controls, instead of the current PSP's one. Today's rumors confirm previous rumors, and would seem to back up the widely-circulated and totally fictitious mockup shown above. What's new: the Christmas launch date -- presumably that means Christmas, 2009, and not some future year.
None of these details, including the name (PSP 2? PSP 4000?) appear to be confirmed by any credible source.
