A rumor surfaced last night via Jessica Chobot's IGN blog (and then here afterwards) about possible specs of the PSP 2. While the source was anonymous, the specs were certainly worth talking about: there was mention of an Ericsson logo, no UMD drive, a screen flipped out w/ keyboard underneath (QWERTY style) and more.
MCV spoke to "a source close to Sony" directly about the rumor, resulting in a rather fiery reply:
"Clearly, being a quiet time of year, many, what we thought to be credible websites, are making up stories about stories about PSP2, and how it allows you to teleport across the globe, travel through time, and will be powered by the horns of baby rhinoceroses," Sony explained. "Hopefully, you can sense a mild tone of sarcasm, which should hopefully indicate how 'on the money' IGN are. Needless to say, we don't comment on rumour or speculation, but this is nonsense."
Wow. That's kind of mean (not to mention not so professionally worded), but since the source is as anonymous as the rumor itself. I'm not surprised. Of course, there is still no official word that says no for sure, so people in the mood to speculate could potentially do so endlessly. Think any of these rumors have any reality to them?

Time and Relative Dimension in Games?
Lazy, I'm about as liberal as you can get, but even I think that is a big stretch in this instance. Personally, I laughed pretty hard.
I still think the picture is crap and offensive but there you go....
