Look at that floppy screen. We want it. This PSP2 concept is certainly very pretty, but don't get too excited. We'd be very surprised if this ever exists. We're not sure where the concept images come from, but we found them over at the technology site DVICE. Check out the fold-away screen and the (dual analogue, naturally) controls on the cylindrical body. We're not sure how practical it would be, but it certainly looks great.
There are more images to see over at DVICE. PSP2 may or may not be in development but we'd put money on this not being the final design. The price alone would be incredibly prohibitive (though judging from the PS3, that wouldn't worry Sony). Still, we'd be willing to pay a considerable amount if it really could play Resident Evil 5, as the images suggest.

This isn't cool. It would be no fun if the screen isn't even rigid enough to support itself. The cylinder idea looks like hell on the hands too.

It costs ten thousand dollars, is completely unplayable, and will break instantly when you place it in your pocket. Truly, the future is a wondrous place....

Not only is this possible, it's even probable. Maybe not as a PSP or anything, but with OLED technology breaking through, we'll see stuff like this hitting the market in the not so distant future.

I know they're already working on screens similar to that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcAm3KihFho but I like the current non-floppy PSP.

Do people read? It's not a "floppy" screen, 'an electrical charge holds the screen upright.'

LoL OLEDs cost a bomb.
Do ya know that an 11 inch Sony OLED TV costs $2500...
Still an OLED screen might allow the PSP(2) to view HD vids.

that is probally the worst design ever. i mean imagine holding that shit for like 30 minutes.take a thick ball point pen and pretent you have joysticks and two buttons on the back.
if you were still on this design it'd be best to have two ends, like a scroll.
and what about over time, wouldnt that shit rip apart far too frequently? or even crumple?
i take my kudos and place it else where.
