NGP (“Next Generation Portable”) is Sony’s code name for the successor to the company’s PSP Go portable gaming system.
Besides the larger (5- inch), clearer (OLED) touch screen, NGP will have has a touchpad on both its front and back. Of course there are traditional controls, too, including two analog sticks and shoulder buttons.
NGP will also be your key to Sony’s new LiveArea,: an online world where you can meet other players. Because the NGP has a GPS receiver and can transmit your physical location, you can meet up with other players in your neighborhood, by way of both Wi-Fi and 3G. Other features include two cameras (front and back) and multiple motion sensors.
Software will be sold both as store-friendly DS-like cartridges and as downloads in a new online store being called the PlayStation Suite (PS Suite). You will also be able to download NGP games for your Android-based phones, no Sony hardware required.
The NGP will have stereo speakers, a microphone, built-in GPS, Wi-Fi location service support, 3G wireless and Bluetooth. Sony is vague on details like price, actual name and release date, other than “this fall.”
