The unveiling of the PSP's successor, Next Generation Portable (NGP), by Sony didn't take the world by storm but one thing that many didn't expect was the name and the design of the device--speculating that it'll be called PSP 2 and assuming it'll look like the PSPgo. Like it or hate it, it will be coming out this holiday 2011. So, here are several known facts about Sony's next handhelp--Next Generation Portable.
Known Facts:
• British company ARM, which has built NGP's CPU, usually gears its creations towards good battery life, according to TechRadar. Sony's pitching battery life between 4-6 hours.
• NGP contains an ARM Cortex-A9 core (4 core) CPU. This is well ahead of other recent mobile devices, whose manufactures have only recently begun installing Dual Core in the latest handsets. The iPad also uses ARM Cortex designs in its system on a chip (SOC).
• Sony has dubbed the curvaceous chassis of NGP 'Super Oval Design'. The platform holder claims it has been specially created to ensure more comfort in longer play sessions than PSP1.
